Project Overview

ORGsight partnered with a global resource company to deliver a 12-month mentoring program aimed at supporting the retention and integration of female and Indigenous employees. With 120 mentees participating, the initiative was designed to provide structured support during the critical transition period into the organisation, fostering role adjustment, long-term career development, and alignment with the company’s diversity and inclusion goals.

Program Objectives

1. Support Role Adjustment: Facilitate a smooth transition for mentees into their roles through structured mentoring and training.
2. Enhance Career Development: Provide tools and strategies to help mentees navigate their career paths within the organisation.
3. Foster Retention: Strengthen employee engagement and retention by addressing the unique needs of female and Indigenous employees.
4. Drive Leadership Insights: Utilise reverse mentoring to connect frontline employees with leaders, fostering a deeper understanding of challenges impacting leadership capability.
