Mentor Matching
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Chronus to support initiatives related to DEI, women in leadership, top talent, or on-demand as needed. Peeling it back the mentoring match ultimately is to upskill, reskill, or get better at a leadership competency. This drives retention, career progression, and the employee experience through connections and belonging.
Pros
- Algorithmic match
- Admin dashboard
- Connection plan
- User interface, mobile friendly
Cons
- Mentoring software is only as good as we provide good internal mentors so accountably is on us to bolster the system with good mentors.
- When I evaluate the satisfaction of our mentees I need to hear "my mentor was great" and this is not a software result but a human result.
- Many of my Chronus contacts have changed over the years, sometimes I feel I know more than them.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are going to scale a mentoring program with 50+ users (mentor and mentees) you need software, to get out of the "matching" game, this is a Chronus positive. You also want an ongoing pulse on how it's going, whos looking for a mentor, and adding new users. This is very easy to do with the software.
