Use the calculator below to see the financial impact of a mentorship program for your organization. The results will show you why mentorship is one of the highest-return investments you can make.
Why mentorship works: Women with mentors are 77% more likely to stay in their roles. When women have trusted relationships and clear growth pathways, they’re more engaged, productive, and committed to your organization.
Mentorship leverages the talent you already have while building the leaders you need for tomorrow.
Why Invest in Mentorship?
Employee engagement is one of the most critical drivers of organisational success. Highly engaged employees are more productive, innovative, and committed to their work. They contribute meaningfully to team goals, go the extra mile, and drive positive business outcomes.
Mentorship is a proven catalyst for engagement.
According to Gallup, employees with mentor or sponsor support are:
- Twice as likely to be engaged
- 98% more likely to strongly recommend their organisation as a great place to work
Why?
Because mentorship nurtures a sense of purpose, skill development, and contribution. It strengthens connections within the organisation and industry while enhancing employees’ perception of growth opportunities—key factors in fostering long-term engagement and retention.

Time, Cost, and Expertise.
Running an effective mentorship programme requires specialised expertise, and without the right systems and tools, significant time and resources to manage. The success of a mentorship programme depends on:
- High-quality matches
- Well-structured interactions
- Consistent support and management
Without an effective third-party provider, launching and maintaining a mentorship programme involves significant manual work—from matchmaking and coordination to ongoing support. Many enterprise mentorship solutions require internal teams to oversee operations, making them resource-intensive.

No manual effort required. Just high-impact mentorship.
With OneUpOneDown, your organisation can implement a scalable, hands-off mentorship programme that empowers your people and strengthens your organisation.
