MentorcliQ Mentoring ROI

Here at MentorcliQ we believe mentoring is a powerful tool to help leading organizations engage, develop, and retain their employees.  To support our belief we conducted research with our clients and found that mentoring plays a critical role in the numerous aspects of employee development, engagement, retention, and productivity.

We found that within each company there was personal and professional development happening which positive impacted the careers of each participant.  This translates to a more engaged and productive workforce, leading to increased return on investment (ROI) of the mentoring programs.  Below are some of our key findings for relationship satisfaction, developmental focus areas, participant engagement, productivity, retention, and most importantly, ROI.
