It’s National Mentoring Month, and as employees seek increased connection and professional development opportunities at work, this is a perfect time to make sure they have someone who helps them feel settled and supported in their role.
Ninety-two percent of Fortune 500 companies offer mentoring programs, and their average profits are three times higher than those without such programs, according to MentorCliq. Their research also shows a 50% higher retention rate among employees who have a mentor. In a survey of over 1,300 CEOs, Vistage reported that 86% attribute their career achievements in part to mentors along the way, solidifying the connection between mentoring and professional success.
