3. Create a Powerful Design:

The design of a good mentoring program is a very ‘conscious’ process. The design will need to take into account a defined set of goals and operational guidelines for the mentoring program.

win cooperation from cross-functional teams and leaders. Hence it is vital to market the mentoring initiative by highlighting the benefits of the program for the organization.
