As We Strive For Workplace Gender Equality, Let's Get Mentoring Right

Workplace mentoring programs are often designed to support and empower employees. However, a recent survey released by Lean In spotlights an unintended consequence of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements: 60% of male managers are uncomfortable mentoring, working one-on-one with or even socializing with female colleagues. Organizations need to ensure their formal mentoring programs and informal sponsor relationships are diverse and support all employees.

Cameron Bishop, CEO and President of SkillPath, shares his thoughts on the need for gender diversity at work and how mentoring plays a key role in workplace inclusion.
