A recent EPCA research shows that mentorship and sponsorship are the most effective tools for developing high potentials, retaining the best employees and enabling diverse talents to succeed and climb the company career ladder.
Despite the advanced implementation of mentorship and sponsorship programmes by frontrunner companies, there is still room for more opportunities (and improvement) within the EPCA Community.
Thanks to the support of TTLT-represented companies, the EPCA’s Talents of Today, Leaders of Tomorrow (TTLT) Committee investigated common challenges - and explored the best practices - on the why, how and what of setting an effective mentorship and/or sponsorship programme.
