Impact Awards 2024
Share your mentoring program's impact!
Running your mentoring program, you have seen first hand the positive influence its had for your people, organisation, and community.
It’s that time again, to shine a light on the people and mentoring programs that have made mentoring more accessible to more people in their organisations and communities than ever before.
Why should I enter?
Award-winning programs:
- Enhance your employer brand
- Give confidence to your stakeholders
- Build confidence in the mentors and mentees who participated
- Inspire further participants in your next recruitment round
- Demonstrate the tangible impact of your program on your organisational objectives
- Show tangible improvements across DE&I metrics
- and celebrate you, passionate Program Coordinators
Awarded based on four key criteria:
- The program gives everyone the opportunity to benefit from mentoring, not just a few “chosen ones”
- The program endeavours to create a culture of mentoring in the organisation or community
- The program strives to make/is making a significant positive impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion, whether explicitly stated as a program goal or as a natural result of mentoring happening in the organisation
- The program coordinator/s has/have made a concerted effort towards achieving the target number of participants
- The program is scalable whilst retaining mentoring quality and participant satisfaction
- The program has undergone a significant expansion in the form of either the creation of additional programs or graduation from a pilot to always-on mentoring; or
- The program coordinator/s run multiple programs for different cohorts
Some examples include:
- The program has maintained an above average level of engagement within their cohort
- The program has received positive feedback from the participants in their program
Some examples include:
- There has been demand among members of the organisation or community to continue and/or expand the mentoring program more broadly
- There has been a significant impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion within the organisation or community
- The program has enabled better connections between people in their organisation or community despite geographical hurdles
Mentoring Programs that embody a collection of these attributes more often than not, surpass the goals they set out to achieve.
If your program resembles any of these pillars, we encourage you to submit an application. Winners will be announced early October 2024! 🎉
How to enter
To enter, simply complete these two steps:
- Submit your Pre-Application form.
- Upon completion, you will be supplied with a video link to record your answers to 8 key questions.
Here, you can take your time. The platform allows you to record as many takes as you need, or even upload your own video. Should you successfully receive a Mentorloop award, these answers may be used to create a short video, as you can see in this Case Study from NAIFA.
