We will launch in September a programme of Reverse mentoring.

In a mentoring relationship it is usually the more experienced person who is the mentor and they help the mentee develop specific skills and knowledge. In a reverse mentoring relationship it is the less experienced person who takes the position of mentor and helps the more experienced person.

The knowledge that is transferred is about the mentor’s perspective on the business, the industry and their own career aspirations. The dialogue should give the mentee food for thought on how the world has changed since they started out, and how the skills and expectations of the next generation might inform the decisions we make today to shape the firm tomorrow.

We have in heart to promote intergenerational sharing, and we adopt this revolutionary form of mentoring to promote the understanding of the environment of the most seniors but also the development - including the impact of the younger ones.

Objectives of the A&O Reverse Mentoring Programme :

• Senior leaders will gain an insight into diverse perspectives of the firm and individual and generational career aspirations, motivations and perceived barriers.
• More junior and diverse people will be given a voice and opportunity to influence.

Create an environment of exchanges, trusty relationships.
