Session

The aim of this panel session is to showcase practice case studies from a leading police service and financial services organisation operating worldwide and who have considerable experience of reverse or what is increasingly being defined as reciprocal mentoring.  Representatives within the organisations will share what emerges from these types of relationships based on a selection of questions such as:

  • What was the rationale for introducing reverse/reciprocal mentoring into your organisation?
  • What approach did you take to attract mentors and mentees?
  • What was the selection and onboarding process?
  • What training, if any, was offered to the mentors and mentees?
  • How were mentor and mentee ‘pairs’ decided upon?
  • What criteria was applied for how the mentoring pair worked together?
  • What were the anticipated outcomes from the mentoring relationships?
  • What evaluation has taken place?
  • What were the identified benefits?
  • What would you do differently and keep the same?
  • Anything else that encourages others to implement a similar scheme?

You will also hear about the outcomes of a recently completed research study.

Morium moved to join the firm’s Reward team as a Benefits and Pensions Administrator in March last year.  Outside of work, Morium volunteers at her local hospital and loves to spend time with her equally foodie-loving family and friends. If it wasn’t for the latest Covid-19 restrictions, you’d find Morium in the gym completing some Body Combat sessions, relaxing through Pilates and attending the many weddings her family have.
