Session: Why traditional mentoring programs fail to bridge the diversity gap?
During my session, I will be looking at traditional mentoring programs and how in most cases they are designed to fail before even launched. Often providing a mentoring program is part of a tick box exercise or a nice to have within a company or community. Perhaps even a bit of an "everyone is doing it, so should we" approach. Instead of considering the purpose and objectives of offering a mentoring program. We will look at a few ways you can offer a truly inclusive mentoring program to your community or employees.Key Takeaways
- 1. Create a mentoring culture that drives inclusion
- 2. Build an effective mentoring program that builds equity
- 3. Develop cultural competencies through mentoring
