Use Case for Mentorship: Building a Community

The Challenge: 

A mid-sized tech company has had their employees work remotely for the past two years and is starting to see a disconnect among them. Engagement is at an all time low and productivity is suffering. With remote work, employees aren’t able to benefit from meeting up and connecting with colleagues in person. These employees are starting to feel isolated in their job and losing the feeling of being part of a united community. 

Another company, a PR firm, has a hybrid working model since July 2021, but some employees are still having difficulties adjusting to switching back and forth between the home and office, resulting in them not feeling fully supported in their work endeavors. They don’t have a consistent way to communicate with leaders/mentors/colleagues regardless if they’re working at home or in the office.

A third enterprise-sized company is glad to have their employees be able to connect with their colleagues in person on a daily basis, but with over 5,000 people in the organization, many employees don’t even know where to start. Employees feel a bit like a drop in the ocean when it comes to blending in with their workplace atmosphere and truly feeling part of a community. There’s a feeling of choice paralyzation with the concept that a mentee/mentor relationship is exclusive rather than a mentee having multiple mentors at the same time.  

According to research by Coqual, a nonprofit think tank, as sense of belonging at work is rooted in four elements:

Process: 

Belonging plays a fundamental role in employee engagement. Gallup research found that engaged employees are 22% more profitable. Setting up a mentoring program connects employees to colleagues they wouldn’t have met/talked to otherwise, and provides an easily accessible middle ground for them no matter if they work from home, in an office, or anything in between.
