Why Mentoring Programs Fail - and How to Make Them Worthwhile
Briefly

The issue lies not with mentoring itself but in the underutilization and ineffective reach of many mentoring programs, which often result in employee disengagement.
Many employees are unaware of or uninterested in participating in mentoring opportunities as programs are frequently confined to a small group of employees.
Potential mentors might be too overwhelmed with their own workloads to commit to meaningful mentorship, leading to a cycle of under-engagement in mentoring programs.
Organizations can transform mentoring programs into powerful tools for retention by strategically communicating, leveraging storytelling, engaging senior leaders, and expanding access.
