Choosing the Right Mentoring Partner
When selecting a mentoring partner for your business or yourself, you’ll face the challenge of deciding the role mentoring will play in your professional life or the lives of your organization’s members. So, how can you navigate the world of mentoring and find the program that best suits your needs?
The History of Workplace Mentoring Programs
Initially, structured mentoring focused on developing individual mentees for career growth, with little emphasis on enhancing leadership and performance results within an organization. Early on, sponsorship and career progression mentoring became more accepted in corporate life. As mentoring evolved, organizations realized that structured, formal mentoring programs could significantly enhance their talent and diversity & inclusion strategies. We collaborate with clients to unlock potential and drive stronger business performance through mentoring.
Why Tracking Mentoring Performance Matters
Individuals and businesses desire trackable, tangible results. While mentoring programs vary, most companies aim to develop, engage, and retain key talent to drive profitability and innovation. Individuals seek ways to enrich their careers and grow personally and professionally; Menttium’s mentoring programs enable them to do just that. We commit to helping people thrive at work and in life!
At Menttium, we measure gains in key performance indicators to help you prove the return on your investment. This way, there’s no doubt about the impact of your mentoring program on your mentees or your company as a whole.
Measuring ROI in Mentoring
Measuring ROI in mentoring can be challenging, but we know it’s critical. We developed the Return on Mentoring Report to account for both personal growth and organizational impact. Our unique approach to structured mentoring supports individual development goals aligned with six performance capabilities found in high-performing organizations.
These tactics result in a tangible Return on Mentoring™. Our mentoring partnerships begin with a Pre-Mentoring Assessment, allowing mentees to assess their current capabilities and set development goals. We hand-select mentors who will add value to their mentee’s professional lives in the areas they wish to develop. Throughout the year-long partnership, we survey mentees, their managers, and mentors to gather feedback and assess progress and impact.
Regular Assessment and Feedback
We regularly survey our mentees to ensure satisfaction and measure gains against performance capabilities with their mentors’ support. We also measure the impact on careers, job performance, and overall company metrics, including retention and engagement.
