Context
Organised by Talent naar de Top in the Netherlands, the 1-year Cross Mentoring Programme brings together 150 pairs of mentees and mentors from over 50 companies, focusing on enhancing gender and cultural diversity in leadership; since 2018, cultural diversity has been fully integrated into the programme's focus.
Objectives
The programme aims to foster the professional development of mentees while building the mentoring and inclusive-leadership skills of mentors, and to broaden participation to include underrepresented groups facing unique workplace challenges.
Activities
Participants are matched based on their profiles and development goals. The programme includes a plenary kick-off meeting, 4 to 6 structured mentoring conversations supported by guiding principles and preparatory workshops, group meetings with inspiring workshops, intervision sessions and networking events, and a final group meeting that includes the Most Remarkable Mentor Prize.
