Description

Underrepresented employees can face challenges in the workplace when it comes to inclusion and career progression. Mentoring can provide opportunities for skill development and networking that can minimize some of these challenges as employees make their way into leadership positions or new responsibilities within an organization. Unlike other tactics companies have used to improve diversity, mentoring is proven to make a difference. One 2016 study in the American Sociological Review found that mentoring, in comparison to other corporate tactics (such as mandatory diversity training, grievance systems or job tests), increased minority representation among managers in the workplace anywhere from nine to 24 percent.
