VPPPA Mentoring Program Benefits


"I have mentored many sites, and the best reward was not the thanks for your help, but the dedication, commitment by labor and management to developed a partnership of trust and be recognized for their success. And every time I go away from the experience with new ideas, new best practices and new energy and motivation. Safety and health excellence truly feeds off itself."
- Jack Griffith, Fluor Hanford, Richland, WA

A highly effective tool, the VPPPA Mentoring Program has many success stories to its credit. The advantage for the mentee is obvious at a first glance. The mentor is not only interested in the success of the mentee site, but often becomes a teacher to guide the site on its journey. With the mentor, the mentee has access to a ready resource and support that will prove invaluable as the mentor directs the mentee through the process.

However, mentoring is truly mutually beneficial. Mentors also have an opportunity to improve their safety and health knowledge during the process. They will learn new ways of doing things and feel empowered by contributing to another site's success. Not to reinvent the wheel works for the mentee and the mentor. Both sites can learn from each other and strengthen their safety and health management systems along the way.
