Questions HR teams ask about mentoring programmes

What is a corporate mentoring programme?

A corporate mentoring programme is a structured way to connect employees with more experienced people who can support specific development goals. Each relationship gets a clear purpose, a journey and a way to track participation and progress.

Which programme is right for our organisation?

It depends on the talent outcome you need most. We can recommend a model based on who will take part, your leadership priorities, the mentors you have and the evidence you need to show management.

How long does a programme run and how many people can join?

Programmes are flexible. Many clients start with a six-month pilot cohort, then extend the journey or scale it to more participants, teams or business units based on what they learn.

Can we use our own senior leaders as mentors?

Yes. You can run the programme entirely with internal mentors, use our industry mentor network, or combine both. We can also help with mentor preparation, matching and programme administration.

How do you measure the results of a mentoring programme?

We measure the indicators agreed during programme design. These can include onboarding and matching progress, session completion, engagement, participant feedback, development progress and the programme-specific outcomes leadership wants to review.

How much does a mentoring programme cost?

It depends on participant numbers, programme length, delivery support and whether you need external mentors. Our pricing page shows the published starting options, and we can scope a programme plan for your organisation.

Do you run programmes for foundations, scholars and entrepreneurs?

Yes. We design and run mentoring cohorts for foundations, scholarship programmes, government and ecosystem partners, and accelerators, on the same platform with the same reporting.
