Why mentoring with Yvonne Looije at MaXXYou?

Yvonne Looije is a seasoned mentor within the financial services industry. But why would any employer want to hire a mentor for their employees?

A mentor passes on intellectual capital

Older professionals within a sector possess a great deal of precious intellectual capital and have undergone extensive training. They have tons of experience and know the pitfalls of a particular job or sector like no other. Hiring such a professional as a mentor is the ideal way to ensure that this value is not lost. By acting as a mentor, senior professionals have the opportunity to pass on their knowledge in a very organic way. This is a smooth way to avoid younger employees making the same mistakes as the previous generation. That’s why Yvonne Looije is an obvious choice as a mentor in the financial services industry.

A mentor empowers to increased productivity

Young employees often want nothing more than to discuss a problem, challenge or breakthrough at work with their friends or family, but not always their friends or family understand what they are talking about. Never underestimate the joy of sharing subject-specific questions, ideas, and challenges with someone who understands them. A mentor like Yvonne Looije provides such an understanding space. A mentor-mentee relationship provides, in addition to the obvious professional gains, many social benefits. These aspects contribute to job satisfaction, and job satisfaction is the best engine for productivity.

A mentor helps you remove blockers

Every employee has certain blockers, dissatisfiers or demotivators, things that keep them from performing better or being happier in their job. The problem with demotivators? They remain unnamed and go to sleep. A mentor is further removed from the daily work and has no personal interest in whether or not an employee functions properly than a manager would. That’s why Yvonne Looije, with extensive experience in the finance services industry, is such a suitable mentor within this industry. She is able to recognize and name these blockers. Once they are known, manager and employee can work together to take impediments away.

Mentoring and choosing your career path

Other than in previous decades, the economy and the labor market are evolving so quickly that we have to continuously re-evaluate our own role within an organization. If you don’t do this on a regular basis chances are you might be stuck in a position that doesn't match your talents. It's a shame, because that leaves a lot of unused potential. A mentor like Yvonne Looije looks at an employee and his or her capabilities from a different perspective. That fresh perspective helps to guide employees to their most suitable role within the organization.
