what is a diversity mentorship program?
A mentoring program is a structured way for you to leverage the benefits of mentoring in order to help build and develop a diverse workplace and culture. By matching experienced mentors with people who are looking to build skills in their areas of expertise, we can provide a valuable benefit to both your organization and your employee group.

why do some mentorship programs fail?
poor planning
Without a plan, any number of things can go wrong without the strategy in place to address those issues.
Our diversity mentorship programs are organized and offer the structure, resources, and support you need to experience smooth implementation and ongoing success.
not scalable
In-house programs often put a massive burden on internal staff trying to facilitate the program.
Our fully administered mentoring platform can scale as much as you need and provides a great experience for any size organization!
traditional hierarchies
Typically, mentoring relies on traditional hierarchies which aren’t structured with personalized career development in mind.
We match mentees and mentors based on relevant skills & interests. This gives diverse employees the opportunity to build a mentoring relationship with another like-minded employee.
insufficient training
Many programs don’t provide participants enough context for how to establish an effective mentoring relationship.
We provide training, resources and tools along with our structured, proven mentoring program to help the people involved experience career development.
lack of measurement
Mentoring programs without measurables or analytics don’t have insights into the effectiveness of DEI initiatives.
Our software mentoring includes a helpful analytics dashboard with ongoing reporting and feedback. Plus we’ll review metrics with you so you can be sure your organization’s diversity initiatives are successful.
bad matching
Oftentimes we hear mentor programs don’t prioritize matching candidates to those who are a good fit leaving the employee uncomfortable and without progress.
We match people based on the goal development skills, making your workplace more successful in its DEI initiatives.
