"A new report on workplace mentoring from the Association of Business Mentors (ABM), Unlocking Impact, highlights a clear tension: While 70% of businesses say that mentoring boosts performance and 98% would recommend it, 37% admit that they struggle to measure outcomes. It's one thing to feel that mentoring is beneficial for us. It's quite another to know and be able to prove its efficacy."
"Nearly half of respondents to the ABM survey (47%) cited a lack of time and availability as the biggest roadblock to implementing a workplace mentoring and coaching program. Limited resources weren't far behind, with 38% of respondents stating that lack of resources was an issue. Without clear evidence of impact, mentoring risks being sidelined when the pressure is on and budgets tighten."
Seventy percent of businesses say mentoring boosts performance and 98% would recommend it, yet 37% struggle to measure outcomes. Many organisations rely on short-term metrics that fail to capture long-term or intangible benefits. Nearly half of respondents cite lack of time and availability as the biggest roadblock to implementing mentoring and coaching, while 38% cite limited resources. Without clear evidence of impact, mentoring risks being sidelined during budget pressure. Mentoring yields tangible and intangible benefits, including personal stories and development that require different measurement approaches. Simple organizational steps can embed mentoring ROI into company culture.
