This webinar discussed how mentoring can help increase gender diversity in leadership. It outlined that companies with more women in leadership roles see higher financial returns. Mentoring gives women opportunities to advance their careers and build confidence. The webinar recommended a 6-step process for organizations to create an effective mentoring program focused on developing women leaders: defining goals and success metrics; recruiting mentors and mentees; communications; training; matching mentors and mentees; and reporting results. While the program focuses on women, gender should not be a factor in matching and the program should not be exclusive.

organization

mentor and mentee
Use this time to reduce bias in your
organization and eliminate the
stereotypes and double-standards in
order for your program to be successful

25. STEP 5: MATCHING
APPLICATION
Be sure that your matching application
addresses competencies that develop
women leaders…
• Who needs to develop these
competencies? Mentees!
• Who already possesses these
competencies? Mentors!
REMEMBER: Gender should not be a factor
in matching

26. STEP 6: REPORTING
• How many partnerships were created?
• What leadership competencies were improved?
• What goals/objectives were completed?
• How many individuals moved into leadership
roles?

27. RECAP
When organizations don’t consider
women for leadership roles, they are
missing an opportunity to achieve
success.
Organizations that have placed women in
leadership roles have seen an increase in
return on equity, return on sales, and
return on invested capital.
Mentoring can help to increase gender
diversity within your leadership team.
Although your mentoring program may
be focused on women leaders, you should
not exclude men.There are 6 steps to success:
Define Goals Recruiting
Communications
Training Matching Reporting
