Mentoring
Mentoring relationships already exist in the organization. However, mentoring can be an effective tool for the progression of diversity agenda. Studies have shown from gender-dominated fields that mentoring (especially when men mentor women) is effective in reducing biases, increasing performance and enhancing the sense of self-confidence in women participants in mentoring (de Vries, Webb and Eveline, 2006; Jones, 2017; Grant-Kels, 2018). Mentoring programs can be formally instituted by the Office for Diversity but should have delegates in each department to increase commitment and participation.
