Setting up a job shadowing program involves several steps:
Identify Objectives: Clearly define what you aim to achieve with the program, whether it’s skill development, career exploration, or succession planning. Select Participants: Choose experienced employees who are willing to share their knowledge and individuals who will benefit from the experience. Develop a Schedule: Plan the shadowing days and ensure they do not disrupt regular business activities. Provide Orientation: Brief both the shadow and the mentor on what to expect and the goals of the program. Monitor and Evaluate: Regularly check in with both parties and gather feedback to improve the program.
