Setting Up a Mentoring Scheme That Has a Guaranteed Impact
We want to help you to have a measurable impact and increase retention by setting up a mentoring scheme
Mentoring has been shown to improve:
Retention: one survey showed retention rates of 72% for mentees and 69% for mentors, VS 49% for non-participants.
Engagement: research with Deloitte found 87% of mentors and mentees feel empowered and have developed greater confidence.
Burnout: a large-scale study found that only 25% of staff who received mentoring were likely to experience burnout, a significantly lower figure than those not receiving mentoring.
For anyone looking to have a real impact on the people and culture of their organisation, this mentoring can be the best way to go.
Mentoring is the act of using experience to help someone achieve a goal or overcome difficulties, it involves active listening and helping mentees understand the possible ways forward.
It is different from coaching, which is based on the principle of asking questions to help an individual solve their own problem, or teaching, which is based on a principle of telling or instruction. Mentoring cannot be replaced by AI as it relies on the experience and the interpersonal connection.
If you are here then you will be at the point of considering how a mentoring scheme can help you have an impact on the areas of risk that you are concerned about.

Who this Plan is NOT for
We work with organisations who will run the full test and review cycle for setting up a mentoring scheme.
This method does not work for organisations who think it would be nice to offer mentoring – that lacks the commitment and drive that we are seeking from schemes.
Likewise, the Mentoring Scheme Setup Plan does not work for organisations who would like to offer a mentoring course for staff, such as eLearning or a one-off live course. Yes, this will attract the early adopters, however, will not lead to long-term impact.
We want to help you establish a mentoring scheme that achieves your goals and we won’t give up until you succeed.
That is why, due to the staff time commitment, we are only able to offer this to three organisations a month.
You will receive dedicated coaching from a specialist every two weeks. In addition, you will receive ready-to-use templates to deploy in your organisation.

Cost/Benefits of the Mentoring Scheme Setup Plan
The sheer amount of support required to set up an effective mentoring scheme means often that they get derailed before they have started. Based on our experience of working with over 100 organisations to set up mentoring schemes, the cost if everything is bought separately equates to £18,865 (assuming that nothing needs repeating and that everyone can attend the same training sessions).
BUT we understand that price can often rule out the complete package, so we take a different approach- one that is easier to align with your budget, and ultimately proves more cost effective.
The Mentoring Scheme Setup Plan costs £950 + VAT a month over a minimum period of 12 months, and includes everything above that you need to access to set up your mentoring scheme. That is over £18,000 worth of support for £950 a month!
ADDITIONALLY, this package includes the following bonuses:
