Article: THRPA Mentors

Our THRPA Mentorship Program actively promotes professional development and guidance,

Mentor Criteria:

• You are a THRPA Member in good standing.
• You are now celebrating 8 years or more in an HR managerial role.
• You are prepared to commit to the program for 1 year.

THRPA Program Support:

Mentors are matched with proteges based on their logistical and HR-related compatibility.
All participants are made aware that this is not a job search program so there are no misunderstandings about your specific function. We provide assistance and facilitate workshops to enhance your professional connection and personal development.

Independent Flexibility:

Mentorship pairs exclusively decide the meeting times, frequency and formats that work best for them. Mentors-in-transition are always welcomed since employment status does not diminish the breadth of their valuable work experience.

Personal Rewards:

All participants can earn CHRP re-certification points. Mentors and proteges mutually benefit from professional skill development. Personal growth and satisfaction from sharing personal knowledge with professional colleagues.

Comments from past mentors and proteges:

• "... being able to provide a 'safe zone' to discuss her challenges and expectations has, I believe, allowed her to clarify her career goals and reinforce her belief in her strength, skills, knowledge and experience."
• "Definitely a positive experience. In fact, we intend to continue an informal mentoring relationship/friendship once the program ends."
• "We developed a good working relationship. She was very open with sharing her thoughts and views on questions I had as well as giving me practical advice on HR issues in my workplace."
