Managed Mentorship
Meaningful connections. Built with intention.
Mentorship can be one of the most powerful ways to develop employees—but simply matching two people doesn't create a successful mentoring relationship.
Advanced HR designs, launches, and manages structured mentorship programs that connect the right people, prepare them for success, support relationships along the way, and measure what participants gain from the experience.

You provide the people. We provide the program.
Advanced HR manages the infrastructure behind your mentorship program while giving mentors and mentees the flexibility to build relationships that work for them.
From defining the program and recruiting participants through matching, preparation, ongoing support, and measurement, we manage the work that turns mentoring from a good idea into a structured development experience.

Define objectives, participant criteria, structure, expectations, and measures of success.

Help identify and engage eligible mentors and mentees based on program goals.
Match

Support
Provide prompts, resources, check-ins, and troubleshooting while relationships develop.
Measure
Evaluate participation, relationship quality, development, and overall program value.
One Program. Different Purposes.
Mentorship doesn't have to be about promotion.
Organizations use mentorship for different reasons—and participants enter mentoring relationships with different needs. The program should be designed around what you actually want mentorship to accomplish.
Choose the Right Mentoring Model
Different relationships create different kinds of value.
Advanced HR can design the program around one mentoring model or determine which approach best supports the outcomes your organization wants to create.
Experience shared forward.
Connect employees with someone whose experience and perspective can support their development.
Traditional mentoring creates space for guidance, workplace perspective, professional growth, and individual goals.
Development alongside someone navigating a similar stage.
Create structured connection between colleagues at similar levels.
Peer mentoring gives participants a place to exchange perspective, support one another's development, and navigate shared workplace challenges.
Perspective moves in both directions.
Create opportunities for knowledge and perspective to flow across levels, experiences, and generations.
Reverse mentoring intentionally creates a relationship in which both participants contribute knowledge, perspective, and learning.
Structure Without Over-Structuring
Enough guidance to keep relationships moving.
Enough flexibility to make them meaningful. Our standard Managed Mentorship program runs for six months and can be extended in six-month increments.
Kickoff & Orientation
Prepare mentors and mentees to build productive, mutually beneficial relationships.
Goal Setting
Help participants define what they want from the mentorship experience.
Twice-Monthly Connections
Approximately twelve mentor/mentee conversations across six months.
Monthly Support
Prompts, resources, reflection questions, and optional activities keep momentum moving.
Progress Check-Ins
Identify concerns early, assess progress, and provide support when needed.
Program Closeout
Reflect on the experience, evaluate progress, and measure overall program value.
Measure the Experience
Know whether mentorship is creating value.
Advanced HR measures more than whether participants showed up. Organizations receive aggregate program insights that show how the experience is working, where participants are benefiting, and how future mentorship programs can be strengthened.

We're developing an external mentor-matching network designed to connect individuals with experienced professionals beyond their own workplace.
