It's been nice to get to know Sonja, and the mentorship has felt casual/natural. I've mostly been talking about my own experiences with workplace dynamics, work-life balance, etc. It has been rewarding to be a sounding board for another Arupian.

Before Mentorloop
Like many organizations, we knew some of our offices across the Americas were participating in informal mentoring programs.
Naturally, we wanted to bring this opportunity to all employees across our region.
A few years ago we implemented an in-house mentoring program to address this, however, it proved to be a very manual process – a process that was highly administratively burdensome when it came to matching people, getting leaders to raise their hands, and replacing people if they dropped out at the last minute.
During COVID, the program was paused because it was primarily in-person. This gave us the perfect opportunity to look into different avenues on how to deliver a world-class mentoring program to our employees.
Program Impact
With the move to a hybrid organization after the pandemic, the program fulfilled several objectives from the virtual/in-person opportunity of connecting with a mentor.
It now allows us to leverage data for suggested mentors, empowers our people to own their own mentoring journey, and removes the intimidating factor of having to ‘cold call’ a potential mentor by knowing that they’ve raised their hand about wanting to be a mentor.

Sentiment feedback gathered from mentees indicates they are enjoying the time spent with their mentors who take the time to develop a relationship where they feel connected and heard.
Looking to the Future
We have several campaigns in the pipeline to increase awareness of our Mentoring Program.
We are offering the mentoring program to new graduates joining the firm this fall. We want to establish Reverse Mentoring with our leadership team, as well as continue to roll out the Mentorloop Challenges as they are made available.

What Role Does Equity and Equality Play in Your Mentoring Program?
The right mentoring program should level the playing field to empower entire cohorts of people: workplaces, member associations, social groups and educational institutions. Equality should be a cherished value so that every individual can thrive—whoever they are, whatever their background, however they worship or whomever they love. But we can’t arrive at equality without it’s often forgotten partner, equity.
What does a Mentoring Program Coordinator do?
Being a Mentoring Program Coordinator is an incredibly rewarding experience that positively impacts the lives of many. And while mentoring programs don’t fully run themselves (even though Mentorloop can do a great deal of the heavy lifting!), they do require a point of contact that can steer the program in the right direction for the organisation that is running one.
Building Quality Feedback Into Mentoring Relationships

In this post, we’ll look at how mentors can successfully build quality feedback into their mentoring.
