Yes, I do mentor my juniors and new employees in the company as it gives me immense satisfaction. In our organization we have a special mentor-ship program where employees can choose a mentor in any field or technology or area for themselves. It is the best way to give back to the organization and share your knowledge and expertise.
What I believe is if you have knowledge spread it rather than keeping it to yourself. Help others learn and grow and it is the best way to nurture new people in their jobs and areas they want to excel. 2017 I was awarded the leading mentor among 12 global locations or CIC's. it gave me immense happiness and joy to feel that I gave my best to others and organization did recognized my efforts and work.
So, Give back and share knowledge you have and let others get benefit from it.

I've been a mentor with the Prince's Trust for over 10 years. I've worked with many young entrepreneurs as they take their first steps in business. I've helped the majority get to a stable trading situation and continue to offer support as required.
I like to think that my experiences have helped these people but I also take from the relationship. Mentoring keeps me on my toes and is always challenging. Keep sharp and stay on the top of one's game.
Mentoring is a way to bless others, prepare the next generation, and stay sharp through deeply pondering what's most important as you help others with the relevant experience, wisdom, and perspective you have. As a Christian, we are responsible to serve others well, to prepare the next generation (2Timothy 2:2), and to ably steward the resources we've been entrusted with. I'm always mentoring others in small groups, one-on-one, or in institutional/organizational group settings.
