For which of the following situations is starting a mentoring program the most appropriate leadership action?

A mentoring program is most useful when a new employee joins and needs guidance as they learn the role, workplace expectations, and procedures. Adding an entry-level staff member creates that need for ongoing support. A mistake may call for coaching about a specific issue, while a resignation or promotion does not necessarily make a mentoring program the most appropriate response.
