A new survey of American workers from CNBC and SurveyMonkey reveals that offering employees a mentor is critical to workplace satisfaction. Nine in 10 workers who have a mentor say they are happy, and there is a wide happiness gap between them and those who lack a mentor.
Laura Wronski, senior research scientist, SurveyMonkey, and Jon Cohen, chief research officer, SurveyMonkeyMentorship has an outsize impact on a worker's career across several measures, according to the CNBC/SurveyMonkey Workplace Happiness Survey.
Digging into the data from nearly 8,000 full- and part-time workers across the country, one of the findings that jumps out: Mentorship has an outsize impact on a worker's career across several measures. More than 9 in 10 workers who have a mentor are satisfied with their jobs, including more than half who are "very satisfied."The value of mentorship shows up in more specific ways as well.
Often, the margins between those who have a mentor and those who don't exceed the margins between workers who think of themselves as "very well paid" and those who say they're just "somewhat" or even "not so well paid." At every income level, more workers who have a mentor say they're satisfied with their job than those who don't have a mentor. Mentorship is free, but in terms of workplace happiness, it's akin to giving workers a salary bump.
Recent pushes for better diversity and inclusion across the workforce may be helping to drive these mentorship gaps. Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg's organization Lean In, for example, advocates for working women in part by facilitating mentorship groups that women can turn to for advice when they need it.
This is intuitive, as the idea of mentorship typically implies that a mentor is an older, more experienced advisor who can share his or her wisdom with a younger, greener mentee. More experienced workers are more likely to be in the opposite position: sharing their own wisdom rather than benefiting from the tutelage of others. But it's not just young people who reap the gains of mentorship.The benefits of mentorship extend to employees well beyond the early stages of their careers.
