Mentoring: How Mentoring Increases Promotions

Mentoring is a critical component in your organization’s ability to have diversity in the talent pipeline. The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies have demonstrated that a formal, cross-cultural mentoring program with participation of senior executives adds to the diversity of human-capital results in management.
