| Abstract | Employee turnover negatively affects work morale and organizational outcomes. Staff mobility in the technology sector is particularly high, often impeding the growth and expansion of engineering firms. Evidence indicates that mentorship can be an effective means of retaining talent. This evaluation study examined the performance of a group of seven mentors in a Hong Kong engineering services firm who had mentored seven final year students from a vocational training institute in Spring 2016. The purpose of this study was to understand the existing and needed knowledge, motivational and organizational assets of the mentors in order to help improve their mentoring performance. Data were collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews with the mentors. The responses were corroborated by surveying the affiliated interns after they had become employees of the firm. The findings suggested that mentors demonstrated high level of knowledge and motivation assets when guiding the interns. Strengthening of the program framework and establishing a comprehensive information dissemination channel would seem advantageous to allow the mentors to stay focused on coaching. Social events and activities which could further promote staff interactions and bonding should be encouraged. The results further suggested that by continuing the mentorship program, with some improvements, better retainment could be achieved. Suggestions were made for increasing the impacts of mentors and refining the mentorship program in order to pursue the ultimate goal of attracting entry-level engineers and increasing overall staff retention.
