Spotlight - Mentoring

Mentoring - Enhancing Diversity Strategically and Sustainably for Real Business Results - In today's world, diversity in the work place is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity for remaining competitive and delivering bottom line results. Formal mentoring programs for diversity and inclusion are highly effective for helping minority employees build networks with leaders in their organization. These networks enhance career development and make corporate diversity not simply a numbers game, but a tool for true engagement. Mentoring aligns your diversity objectives with your talent and business objectives, generating real ROI.

A New Approach to Mentoring - These days, employees need more than the help of one person to propel their careers in the right direction. They need a network - a small group of people whom they can turn to for regular support and who are genuinely interested in their professional development. A new mentoring model based on developmental networks can deliver an array of organizational outcomes - performance enhancement, retention, organization learning, innovation, leadership development, and more.

Outplacement Opportunities in Online Identity Management - Today, recruiters are increasingly evaluating and second-guessing candidates based on their "online footprints". Many candidates, however, seem hesitant to embrace social media in their job search. The discrepancy between employers’ use of social media sites for recruitment and candidates’ use of them for job search pinpoints a key opportunity for firms to provide cutting edge outplacement services geared toward online identity management. Ultimately, outplacement providers who grasp the opportunity to catalyze a job search networking paradigm are positioned to come out ahead.
