There are different types of mentorship programs, however the most commonly known is the one-on-one model. This personal interaction can have a significant impact by encouraging an open dialogue where both people learn.

Supervision centers on monitoring employee’s performance. Successful supervisors set realistic goals and provide assistance when
necessary to ensure these goals are reached. In order to achieve positive results, supervisors should strive to build credibility and trust within their staff.
