Program Highlights MOSAIC of Mentoring launch – Mentors and mentees will experience a day of planning, education, and fun as they get to know each other in person! One-on-one mentoring partnership – Each mentee meets at least once per month with a senior diversity and inclusion executive from another industry. By working with leaders in other companies or industries, mentees can bring valuable perspective back to their organizations. These perspectives can enhance innovative thinking and broaden perspectives. Monthly meetings are generally conducted via telephone or Skype unless a mentee or mentor has travel funding available to meet face-to-face. Partnerships are for 12 months. 360-degree feedback process – Each mentee will participate in a 360-degree view of observable social behaviors and working styles identified by four (4) themes: Expressive, Amiable, Driver, and Analytical. Working Styles analyzes work settings, work environment fit, communication style, and management style with development suggestions. The results of the 360-degree feedback will serve as a basis for mentees to develop development plans with the guidance of mentors. Behavioral assessment – Each mentee will benefit from an assessment that will identify the key attributes and behaviors associated with job performance and satisfaction. This tool provides an in-depth view of 11 key areas associated with job performance for each of the Myers Briggs 16 types including: characteristics, contributions to the organization, management style, communication style, learning style, problem solving, decision making, conflict resolution, motivators, team participation, change management, and growth opportunities. Customized profile – All mentees will receive a customized profile highlighting their career accomplishments to share with prospective mentors. Industry-leading mentors – Mentors are seasoned, senior leaders with a willingness to listen and share. Mentors are diversity and inclusion professionals from the senior director level to the presidential level. Meeting monthly with the mentee, mentors create and monitor the yearly agenda and share experience and perspective with their mentor. Peer-to-peer networking – Mentees enter MOSAIC as a cohort and will interact and network with each other throughout the program. MOSAIC Ending Celebration – Mentees and mentors reunite to reflect on successes and opportunities, share best practices, and network.
