It is more important than ever that organisations prioritise high quality training for their leaders.

In today’s working landscape, the most effective leaders are not just assigning tasks and dictating strategy. They engage with their teams to cultivate potential, encourage autonomy and build resilience.

As such, organisations need to make sure that they provide opportunities for aspiring leaders to build these key skills. By cultivating mentoring skills, leaders move beyond simply managing tasks to developing people, creating a vibrant, autonomous, and ultimately more successful team.

What is the ROI of group mentoring training for businesses?

Investing in group mentoring training addresses two primary drivers of employee engagement: leadership quality and development opportunities. By upskilling managers to act as mentors, organisations often see a reduction in staff turnover, improved internal communication, and a more resilient, autonomous workforce.

How does mentoring training help 'accidental managers'?

With over 80% of UK managers lacking formal training, our ‘Mentoring for Managers’ course provides a structured toolkit. It transitions managers from simply ‘assigning tasks’ to ‘cultivating potential’, giving them the soft skills needed to lead effectively without the need for a lengthy MBA or generalist management degree.

Can the training be delivered at our office or online?

We offer total flexibility. Group training can be delivered as a live, interactive virtual experience or as an in-person workshop at your UK premises. Both formats require a minimum of 10 learners and are led by expert trainers who adapt the content to your industry.

How much does corporate mentoring training cost?

Our group training options are a cost-effective way to train a full cohort simultaneously. Prices start from £2,100 for a group of 10, with bespoke quotes available for larger organisations or multi-day sessions.

Is the content tailored to our company culture?

Yes. Unlike “off-the-shelf” video courses, our trainers work with you to understand your unique organisational challenges. We can incorporate your specific safeguarding processes, internal mentoring goals, and company values into the training delivery.
