2. Training needs should not be
ignored. All OHS related training
needs in particular need to be
addressed as soon as is
practicable. If there is not an
opportunity for immediate
training to take place, interim
measures need to be considered
that ensure the safety and
wellbeing of team members.
3. Thus, proper training is required.
Certificate IV Frontline Management
courses provide lectures on how to
facilitate the success of identified
training needs.

as a whole.
7. Mentoring is considered the
process whereby informal transfer
of knowledge or skills takes place
between a person with greater
knowledge on a subject and a
person who is perceived to have
less knowledge of the subject
matter.
8. This is usually within the working
environment. It is considered
relative to career or professional
development and can take on a
formal or an informal structure.
9. There is a common misconception
in the workplace that coaching
and mentoring are one and the
same. There are actually a
number of differences between
coaching, mentoring and even
instruction.
10. Coaching Mentoring Instruction

focus more specifically
on a task or various
tasks.

A mentor is usually
always working within
the organisation and
provides a general
ability to assist in the
long term

imparting of
knowledge

13. Mentoring in the workplace is about helping
people in the organisation to further develop
their skills and grow within the organisation.
This usually occurs on a professional level
and sometimes on a personal level.
14. It is a partnership between two people where
each individual has the opportunity to share
skills, grow and develop new skills and
enhance their current and professional skills.
Mentoring occurs when where is an
opportunity for one person to learn from
another with more experience.
15. A chance for the person being
mentored to receive feedback relating
to their job function
A method of developing leadership
skills for the Mentor themselves
16. A non threatening situation where the
person being mentored can share ideas or
concerns
Mutual respect between the Mentor and the
person being mentored
An opportunity for further learning (often
both the Mentor and the person being
mentored will learn something)

become more creative, develop insight
into their job roles, become better
colleagues and become more focused
on organisational goals and
objectives.
