According to Jeanne Meister, in her article "Mentoring Millenials" in Harvard Business Review (May 2010; hbr.com), in just a few years millennials (those born between 1977 and 1997) will constitute nearly half of the global workforce. She notes that keeping them engaged may be no easy task -- they want their work to be personally fulfilling and connected to a larger purpose. She proposes three kinds of mentoring:
Reverse Mentoring: Millennial matched to an executive and learns by mentoring them.
Group Mentoring: One mentor works online with several mentees at a time taking advantage of community forums, group polling, and the like.
Anonymous Mentoring: Mentors and mentees are likely to be more candid in an anonymous environment -- exchanges are conducted entirely online and match mentees with mentors outside the organization.
