With more and more employees wanting access to mentoring, it is essential that businesses get it right, says one investment banker turned executive coach and consultant. In this episode of The HR Leader Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with MentorKey and Serendis founder Maud Lindley about her career journey, the increased demand for mentoring in the workplace, how and why businesses are not hitting the mark with mentoring programs, and the circumstances leading to shortcomings in such initiatives.

Lindley also reflects on the consequences that flow when mentoring programs are not satisfactory, whether addressing such issues is a priority for businesses right now, the practical steps to take to improve mentoring offerings and solutions to implement, and the role of HR in driving mentoring programs forward into the future.
