MEMORANDUM

Whitlow, Partner

SUBJECT:Proposal to Implement a Formal Mentoring Program
Attached is the proposal to implement a mentoring program at Anderson, Lower,
Whitlow P.C. In early summer, ALW hired fifteen recently graduated individuals and
12 have already taken positions at other firms. There needs to be a system in place to
develop and foster relationships for these individuals within the firm. This firm has a
high turnover rate of new hires; currently, the turnover rate is 85%. Firms that are
considered the Big Four are offering mentoring programs that make their employees
invested in the company s future. Unfortunately, if ALW does not start to compete
with this issue, more employees will be lost to the Big Four Firms.
Implementing a strong mentoring program that fosters individual and personal
growth within the company is vital for the future of this firm. This includes setting up
and maintaining a mentoring program. The mentoring program will be set up with
individuals from all levels of achievement, that are willing to devote a portion of their
time to the firm s prosperity.
Investing in the future of this firm, through a formal mentoring program is a vital
step. I look forward to working with you throughout this process. I can be reached at
[email protected] or 456 789 0123 ext.123.
Thank you for your time.
