Find out how mentoring in the moment of need can support your amazing people

Mentoring Is No Longer a 'Nice To Have'

We are experiencing uniquely challenging times. Budgets are constrained and growth is limited as economies around the world deal with the aftereffect of Covid, international unrest, and the prospect of a long recession.

Mentoring provides a unique opportunity for organisations wishing to prioritise their talent. The power of mentoring has been proven to support employee retention – 94% of UK employees say they’d stay longer in their organisations if offered opportunities to develop and progress.

It cuts reneging too, those that invest in mentoring can see a 67% reduction in renege rates. Moreover, mentoring improves the attraction and retention of underrepresented talent, helping increase potential talent pools and providing organisations with the proven benefits of more diverse teams.

The benefits of mentoring are backed by evidence. 55% of businesses reported that mentoring boosted profits, while companies using mentoring saw a 35% increase in hires from minority ethnic groups. With this in mind, it’s difficult to think of a reason not to launch a mentoring programme in your organisation.

Choice

Mentoring programmes don’t necessarily equal impactful mentoring. Without mentor support, it can have a negative impact. Connectr offers always-on, digestible mentor training on effective relationships so all are set up to succeed.

Mentoring in the moment of need

Connectr delivers agile mentoring to enable instant, light-touch support when intervention is needed and in-depth engagement – from a quick message to a full meeting. Relationships are tailored to the mentee’s and mentor’s needs, time and preference.

Scale

Traditional mentoring is often small-scale and for the privileged few. Connectr’s technology enables access to mentoring to everyone, across the whole breadth of your business, turns ED&I plans into action and tracks programme impact at the touch of a button ready for reporting to your c-suite

Hear from our Happy Customers

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
The platform is simple but effective and very easy for students to navigate – as well as for us as clients to use and create content for. The site has become a key part of our student engagement activity and a vital way for us to track and keep students we meet at career events engaged with our company - particularly through the modules feature. Having the dashboard/reporting access is extremely useful and important for us, as is the mentoring function, providing a safeguarded link between connecting students with our colleagues.
Sam, Emerging Talent Partner Strategic Resourcing - People Partnering
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.
Rachel Parker, Heathrow Mentee
