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.

**Let's turn your data into impact.**
