High-tech companies introducing new technology and equipment, nowadays, those companies start changing their mentoring system: not only do senior workers mentor younger workers, but also younger workers mentor senior workers meanwhile. Whether this new system would be beneficial for the companies is concerned by both companies and workers. Considering different prospects, I fall in line with that requiring younger workers to mentor seniors would be conducive for the companies’ development.

First of all, younger workers -just step out of universities- own updated skills and knowledge that senior workers don’t have, contributing to the development of the whole company. To further explain, things younger workers learned in the universities are corrected and replenished, which are more accurate and comprehensive than what senior workers have learned. A good case in point is the increasing majors and lessons for a specific field, making younger workers be more likely to be specialized than senior workers. In this way, younger generation are capable of teaching senior workers what senior workers didn’t contact before. Consequently, senior workers being mentored by younger workers would learn the latest knowledge and skills that contributed to the development of the company.

In the second place, younger workers learn new things more quickly than senior workers due to better learning ability and higher acceptance. A recent study states that with people aging, they hardly remember and recognize things due to depletion in the brain. Subsequently, when companies introduce new technology and equipment, younger workers handle new stuffs at a fast pace, so they could help and instruct senior workers, making everyone catch the pace of the times. In contrast, letting senior workers learn the new technology firstly and then mentor younger workers would take a longer time and be less efficient. Hence, it is beneficial for companies requiring younger workers to mentor senior workers, when new things arrive.

In conclusion, it is conducive for companies to change mentoring system into two-way letting the younger mentor the senior. Younger workers master updated knowledge and skills and have a stronger ability of learning new things.
