Why do traditional mentoring programs fail to bridge the diversity gap?
A Talk by Estelle Roux-Stevens (People and Culture Advisor and Mentor, Mentorjam)
About this Talk
During this session, you will learn about 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.
Session takeaways
- Create a mentoring culture that drives inclusion
- Build an effective mentoring program that builds equity
- Develop cultural competencies through mentoring
