Reverse mentoring

It is a type of workplace-mentor relationship. The mentor in a reverse-mentor relationship is younger than his or her mentee with substantially less seniority in the organization. Conversely, the mentee is the older of the two and is well-established in his or her position within the company. Reverse mentoring works in all industries but may demonstrate the most effective results in professional fields where technology is an integral part of the work environment but is not the central focus of the work. This environment is conducive to knowledge sharing between mentor and mentee using the mentor's deeply en-grained familiarity and comfort with basic computer skills.
