Driving diversity in financial services
Mentoring technology that supports your team to success and breaks down the barriers holding back your talent
Solving the problems you're facing
Drive retention through belonging
Businesses are facing a challenging and highly competitive labour market. With the number of job vacancies outpacing unemployment, creating a culture of belonging has never been so important.
Attract and retain young talent
Millennial employees are pushing for social change and looking to their employers to help achieve this. Mentoring provides businesses with insight into younger employees’ values and priorities.
Improve socio-economic diversity
89% of senior roles in financial services are held by people from higher socio-economic backgrounds compared with 37% across the UK working population. Mentoring helps companies identify future leaders from all social backgrounds and break down the barriers to their success.
Satisfy investors
Growing numbers of investors are prioritising ESG factors to create a more inclusive society. They recognise that diversity broadens the talent pool and boosts productivity. Mentoring is key to enabling this and meeting investors’ ESG demands.

We loved working with the Connectr team, they were integral in our success
Jennifer Connors
It fills a gap in our Early Careers talent acquisition/ candidate experience process that we needed to fill and we know that young people want to connect with people in our organisation doing the job which we’re able to provide. Nothing in life is perfect, but I would score the Connectr team 10 out of 10 because they're everything you want from a supplier, a product and a team.
Katherine, Head of Early Careers
I was so impressed with Connectr. From choosing my mentor to reading the material and completing the activities, the whole process was seamless. I have a lot more confidence now, and I secured a secondment in my team as a Business Change Support Co-ordinator. I can honestly say that it has sparked something in me to re-address my whole life – not just at work, but in my personal life too. It changed my whole life for the better.
