Mentoring is usually a formal or informal relationship between two people-a senior mentor (usually outside the protégé's chain of supervision) and a junior protégé. Mentoring has been identified as an important influence in professional development in both the public and private sector.

Benefits of mentoring include increased employee performance, retention, commitment to the organization, and knowledge sharing.
