Mentor Scout PLUS

Breaking out of the box of traditional senior-mentor-to-junior-mentee mentorship administration products, Mentor Scout PLUS offers a fresh approach to corporate mentoring support that accommodates any one-to-one or group mentoring scenario – including peer-to-peer, reverse and other alternative types of mentoring programs.

The new Web-based software product is designed to address evolving mentoring needs, different communication and learning styles, and limited mentor pools for conventional one-on-one mentoring to facilitate mentor-mentee matching, knowledge transfer and collaborative interaction in large companies.

To that end, Mentor Scout PLUS is a from-the-ground-up rebuild of its predecessors Mentor Scout and Mentor Scout Talent Networking Edition with industry-first features such as self-service mentoring group formation, dedicated ‘workspaces’ for each group, and keyword-searchable user profiles incorporating narrative information on topics such as participants’ current projects. Highlights include:
