scalable and
can become an unmanageable amount of work.

can make managing your mentoring program easy,
fast, and effective. The Nightmare

The Question
Companies must choose whether to continue
manually administering their mentoring programs
or use automation. And the pros to automation
are signi?cant save time and costs over the long
term, deliver easy and effective mentoring tools
to participants, and scale programs as needed.
VS
Is automating a mentoring program the right
solution for your business? If so, what are the
bene?ts? Let's explore the factors that impact
your choice.

Factor 1 Time Money
With a manual program, a program manager relies
heavily on email, phone calls, in-person
feedback, and meetings to gather information and
determine the health of the program, levels of
participation, and results. With automation,
companies make an up-front investment to save
money over the long run. Although it is possible
to cobble together a somewhat automated solution
using a range of disparate tools, the most
effective mentoring automation solutions offer a
one-stop-shop platform to address all mentoring
needs in one place.
Automation has enabled us to take our mentoring
program to the next level. Using the tool, we now
offer high-quality virtual content and seamless
communication to complement our in-person
mentoring circles. - President, National

Factor 2 Program Goals
An automated mentoring solution can ease the
administrative burden of a mentoring program,
show the needed alignment to objectives, and
track progress. A good solution will keep the
objectives front and center to remind mentors
and mentees of the ultimate purpose of the
program. Some solutions can also allow managers
to assess participation levels during the program.

Factor 3 Matching
With any opportunity to work with others, someone
perceived to have more prestige will be a
highly desired mentor. However, program managers
should ensure that mentees and mentors are
matched without unintended biases, so that each
person in the mentorship receives the best match
possible. Automation can perform complex matches
in seconds and can help ensure that biases do
not impact the matching process. Instead, mentors
and mentees can be matched on a variety of
factors, such as gender, geography, position,
availability, desired skills to cultivate or
improve and subject matter expertise.

Factor 4 Keeping Mentors Happy
In manual programs, program managers sometimes
have dif?culty getting mentors to volunteer to
participate. Thats because they are concerned
about time constraints and potential
administrative overhead.
Automated mentoring programs can allay those
concerns. In several mentorship programs
automated using the eMentorConnect platform, we
have found that mentors like participating a
mentoring program that is well-structured. We ?nd
that our mentors return, time after time and
?nding mentors becomes an easy sell for
program managers in this situation.
94.45 of our mentors say their competency as a
mentor was good or excellent by the end of the
program.
Now thats tapping into human capital!

Factor 5 Measuring Progress
With a manually managed program, the way mentors
and mentees capture information about their
mentorship can vary, making it dif?cult to
capture and compare apples to apples
results. Progress.....
Managers of automated programs have a different
experience. They send surveys through their tool,
see the results in aggregate and track baseline
vs. end of program progress. And most
importantly, using a tool allows them to
quantitatively track progress - which cant be
done in manual programs.

Baseline vs. end of program surveys allowed
program managers to track a 52 increase in
mentees knowledge of the targeted learning
topics.
