Mentoring programs don’t thrive by chance.

Real success comes when participants are motivated, connected, and making meaningful progress.

That doesn’t happen by luck. It happens when engagement is **intentionally designed** into every stage of your program.

In this live session, mentoring program expert **Jess Benham** will show you how to build momentum even before day one, sustain engagement throughout your program, and share some practical strategies you can put into action immediately.

*   Encourage meaningful connections and build confidence in participants
*   Implement practical strategies you can use today to immediately drive engagement
*   Use Mentorloop tools to simplify adoption, track progress, and celebrate wins

**PLUS**: Stick around for a live Q\&A with Jess. Bring your biggest engagement challenges and get actionable advice, real-world examples, and inspiration from programs just like yours.

Whether you’re running a small pilot or scaling a long-term initiative, this session gives you the playbook to intentional, sustained engagement — because great mentoring experiences don’t happen by accident.

Don’t leave engagement to chance!

Reserve your spot today and learn how to build lasting mentoring momentum through purposeful program design. 🌟


Engagement by Design: Crafting Mentoring Experiences That Stick

## Employee Experience (EX) is no longer just an HR initiative, it’s a business-critical priority.

Research shows the stakes are high:

*   Employees with a positive experience are **16x more engaged** than those with a negative experience ([McKinsey](https://www.aihr.com/blog/employee-experience-statistics/)).
*   Employees who rate their culture as “good” or “excellent” are **90% less likely to think about leaving** ([SHRM](https://www.shrm.org/content/dam/en/shrm/research/CPR-222701_Research-Employee%20Experience_FullReport.pdf))
*   They are also **83% less likely to be actively job hunting**, and **8.9x more likely to be satisfied at work**. ([SHRM](https://www.shrm.org/content/dam/en/shrm/research/CPR-222701_Research-Employee%20Experience_FullReport.pdf))

Without a strong EX strategy, companies run the risk of substantially higher turnover — sometimes as much as **~60% more** than those who invest in employee experience. ([Gallup](https://www.aihr.com/blog/employee-experience-statistics/))

Every employee interaction shapes culture, drives performance, and impacts the bottom line, yet many leaders still see EX as ‘soft’ instead of a strategic driver of growth, retention, and customer success.

This chat with HR leaders and [Mentorloop Industry Advisory Council](https://mentorloop.com/mentorloop-industry-advisory-council/) members **Lainie Tayler** and **Michael Werle** will explore the EX touchpoints that matter most, link them to measurable business outcomes, and inspire leaders to act, not just approve budgets.

## What we'll cover:

*   Key EX touchpoints that most influence culture and performance
*   Making the business case: linking EX to retention, customer satisfaction, profitability
*   Strategies to secure executive buy-in and drive action from the top

Moderated by **Heidi Holmes**, Co-Founder & COO of Mentorloop, this session will show HR leaders how to position employee experience as a boardroom priority and turn leadership support into real outcomes for your teams.


The HR Initiative That Just Became a Boardroom Mandate

Mentoring is transformative. We know this. However, proving its value is often the hardest part. You feel it’s working. Participants *say* it’s working. But when the time comes to report back to leadership, it’s hard to show the return.

So in this live session, we’ll explore the common traps that program coordinators struggle with (it’s not your fault!), what ROI really is for your mentoring program, and how to measure and report what matters with confidence.

**Walk away from the session with the know-how to:**

*   Measure what matters (without no fuss and no spreadsheets!)
*   Build a compelling business case with real-time data
*   Confidently report on your mentoring program’s success, like the best Mentorloop-powered programs

**PLUS**: Stick around for a live Q\&A with Jess. Bring your biggest reporting challenges and let’s sort them out live and share real-world examples from programs just like yours.

Whether you’re running a small pilot or scaling a long-term initiative, this is your roadmap to recognition, longevity, and funding.

From Frustration to Flow: A smarter way to run your mentoring program

**When team trust breaks down, the fallout touches everything—and it's too costly to ignore.**

According to the [Harvard Business Review](https://www.harvardbusiness.org/good-leadership-it-all-starts-with-trust/), those who work at low-trust companies experience:

*   74% more stress
*   Half the productivity
*   106% less energy at work
*   76% lower engagement
*   40% more burnout

Clearly, declining trust is incredibly costly yet so many organizations fail to ensure it doesn’t happen in their teams.

So in this upcoming fireside chat, we’ll explore:

*   Why team trust is declining
*   The unspoken traps that cause leaders to lose their teams' trust
*   How mentoring and adaptable leadership can rebuild confidence and connection

Elevating your Mentoring Strategy with Group Mentoring: A Conversation with Ziff Davis

If you’re running a mentoring program, especially for the first time, you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the recruitment process.

And if you're part of a small team wearing multiple hats, it can feel like a heavy lift. We hear this all the time: *“We don’t have the time, people, or budget to run a full-scale promotion.”* or *“This is just a small part of my job, there’s too much work, I can’t do it.”*

We completely understand!

Messaging, timing, promotion, budget—there’s a lot to think about. It’s no wonder this is one of the most common blockers we hear from new program coordinators.

Join one of our mentoring program experts, Jess Benham, for a hands-on session packed with practical tips, real-world examples, and easy-to-follow guidance to help you promote your program with confidence.

*(Spoiler: you don’t need a massive team or budget!)\\*

## In this webinar, you'll learn:

*   How to write compelling messaging for mentors and mentees
*   Where to promote your program—even if you have a small team or limited channels
*   What to say (and when!) to get people engaged
*   How to create a simple marketing and recruitment plan from scratch

Walk away with a realistic, actionable strategy you can put into play right away. Because you don’t need to be a marketing expert—you just need the right support.
