November Spotlight 2024 - The rise of the mentor

In a fast-changing world, where career paths are constantly evolving, mentorship is more critical than ever. We believe that having a trusted mentor is no longer a luxury – it’s essential. For anyone navigating career changes, developing new skills, or seeking to inspire and empower others, having a mentor can accelerate growth and unlock full potential. This session is designed for professionals at all levels who are interested in leveraging mentorship for career development and personal growth, whether you’re a seasoned leader looking to give back, an emerging talent seeking guidance, or an HR professional wanting to kick start or further develop a mentoring programme.

together we explored:

• Why mentorship is on the rise and how it’s reshaping the workplace today
• The benefits of mentor-mentee relationships for personal and professional success
• Formal vs informal mentoring and what’s best for organisations today
• How to embrace different forms of mentorship to develop new perspectives

We were delighted that for this session we were joined by Penny Weatherup, HR Director of Volkswagen UK who shared with us how mentoring is helping to develop safe spaces for dialogue by developing new ways to new ways of thinking and addressing potential barriers to inclusivity.
