    ATDps: June 2024 Virtual Member Event

    Mentoring Programs are an effective way to build capabilities of employees in organizations. They are associated with greater career satisfaction, mobility, and personal development such as increased skills in relationship-building. Mentoring Programs likely are catered to "high-potentials." But I am going to share about building a Mentoring Program accessible to everyone, which brought DEI considerations into play.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Identify the purpose of a Mentoring Program.
    • List DEI considerations in mentoring programs, and get specific about what is meant by them.
    • Set measures for effectiveness of the mentoring program through DEI lens.


    Our guest: Amy is a 5-year member of ATDps with a passion for the employee experience within organizations.

She is currently creating some practical Career Navigation workshops for employees, which she is very excited about.
