Why invest in mentorship
Engaged people are more productive, innovative and committed.
Mentorship is a proven catalyst for engagement. It builds purpose, skills and connection, and it changes how people see their growth opportunities, which is what keeps them.
According to Gallup, employees with mentor or sponsor support are:
- 2x
- as likely to be engaged
- 98%
- more likely to strongly recommend their organisation as a great place to work
Why OneUpOneDown
Time, cost and expertise are why most organisations don’t offer it.
A good programme depends on high-quality matches, well-structured interactions and consistent support. Done by hand, that’s a lot of matchmaking, coordination and chasing.
We automate the whole process.
- Matchmaking and match management
- Feedback collection and communication
- Customer support for every participant
- A scalable, hands-off programme your team doesn’t have to run
