Why Now?

Why mentoring programs are more popular than ever before

Organisations today are navigating turbulent waters and need to find new ways to flourish in a no or low growth economy. Younger managers and leaders lack experience yet are charged with huge responsibility to do more with less. As the workforce ages, we need to find potent ways to transfer knowledge and experience inter-generationally, and support our leaders to develop themselves. Increasingly, organisations are looking to mentoring programs to facilitate career development, manage emerging talent and increase bench strength, support diversity initiatives, and recruit, engage and retain valued employees. A supported mentoring program ensures that:

• Mentors and mentees understand their respective roles and have an appropriate mindset and skills to fulfil those roles well
• Participants can have practical support to sustain and get the most out of their relationships
• Mentoring is aligned to key business objectives
• The vast majority of matches work
• The quality of mentoring is monitored, so organisers can constantly improve the process

We offer a full range of mentor program consultancy services and global reach for structured programs.
