All workers need access to mentors that can provide them with valuable information about their job, their workplace, and the resources that are available within their organization. Mentors also provide much needed psychosocial support. ① Having a diverse network of mentors is important for dominant and minority group members alike. ② Minority group members need diverse mentors so that they can gain insight into what it means to be employed by a particular organization or in a particular field or profession. ③ Majority workers benefit by having a network of diverse mentors because it increases their understanding and sensitivity to the unique realities of diverse workers and their own identity, and perhaps even their own forms of privilege. ④ Mentoring has been typically required and praised as an essential component in the personal development of employers. ⑤ The ultimate goal of these mentoring opportunities is to have individuals be more informed, identified, and engaged in their work and in their organization.
