Mentoring

Helping talented people reach their true potential through cross-industry mentoring

Whats included?

  • A annual cross-company programme beginning January 2022
  • Headline and Major Partners each nominate two mentors and two mentees
  • Profile forms are used to match candidates with a suitable mentor
  • Briefing sessions delivered to all mentors and mentees
  • Coaching tips and guidance provided throughout the year
  • Quarterly communications with recommended resources for mentors
  • Networking sessions

Throughout the 12-month programme regular coaching and guidance is provided to both mentors and mentees to ensure they secure maximum benefit from the pairing. The use of commonly accepted development models is encouraged, and our team will regularly touch base with the pairs, allowing them to feedback on the experience throughout.

A recognised and well researched matching process is used eliminating any unconscious bias. There are numerous networking opportunities throughout the year allowing participants to connect with others across the industry and share experiences.
“It’s been an absolute pleasure being part of the mentoring group. To be able to provide cross-industry mentor relationships to enhance opportunities for growth, networking and development is a real positive aspect of the programme’s agenda. I am enormously proud of the work we have done to establish this programme and look forward to seeing the network grow from year to year.”
