Abstract
This study investigates the concept of reverse mentoring, an innovative practice where younger employees mentor senior colleagues, particularly in areas like technology and modern trends. The research aims to understand how reverse mentoring impacts various aspects of employee performance, including skill development, job satisfaction, and career growth. Utilizing a descriptive research design, the study combines primary data from structured questionnaires with secondary literature. Findings indicate that reverse mentoring significantly enhances learning for senior employees, enabling them to adapt to technological changes, while also benefiting younger mentors by developing their leadership and communication skills. However, challenges such as resistance from senior employees and generational friction are identified. The study concludes that reverse mentoring, when effectively implemented with clear goals and supportive organizational culture, can foster continuous learning, bridge generational gaps, and improve overall organizational performance and employee satisfaction.
