PIPELINE

Alight (formerly NGA Human Resources) predicts that by 2025, 42.5% of the workforce will be Millennials (aged 25-44 during that year) and that 28.2% will be Gen Z (aged 16-24). Mentoring can help organizations learn about future hires and provide their employees a way to give back in a meaningful way.

Retaining Talent

68% of millennials who stay at their organizations for 5 or more years have a mentor, compared to just 32% of those without a mentor. (Deloitte)

BUILDING A NETWORK

Many recent graduates are still on contact with their college mentor – 46% say they have communicated with their mentor in the past three months.
