WITI Presentation on the Business Case for Mentoring and Flash Mentoring Experience
summary
Claims that mentoring cuts turnover and speeds promotion get numbers: a Sun Microsystems study shows formal mentees are promoted five times more and mentors six times more over five years, with 20% higher retention and replacement costs of ~1–3x salary avoided. The session runs a Twomentor Flash Mentoring speed-round experiment using competency cards and staged prompts (mentor road‑trip, timeboxed pairs) to produce at least five follow‑ups; it reports lively real‑time connection building against data on 50% burnout and 54% loneliness.
