Mentoring

Mentoring programs are a highly effective way to develop all employees. Moreover, mentoring is particularly effective with employees in underrepresented identity groups such as people of color and women. Mentees develop their skills, increase their understanding of how to be successful in the organization, learn how to take responsibility for their careers and develop organizational savvy. Mentors develop their leadership skills and deepen their understanding of the process of development.

The benefits of a mentoring program to the organization are:
• Improved performance of participants
• Increased retention
• Increased levels of satisfaction
• More successful recruitment
• Greater workforce diversity
