How Mentorship & Sponsorship Can Help Leaders Build Their Skills

Vivian Acquah - Amplify DEI — Sat, 21 Jan 2023 15:36:22 GMT

In recent years, organizations have recognized the importance of creating diverse, inclusive workplaces. But creating an environment that is welcoming for all employees can be challenging for leaders and managers. One way to tackle this challenge is by implementing a mentorship and/or sponsorship program within your organization. Not only does it give members of underrepresented communities a chance to gain access to opportunities they may not otherwise get, but it teaches essential inclusion skills to leaders, such as communication and collaboration across cultures. During this Let's Humanize The Workplace episode Robin Daniels and myself will explore how mentorship & sponsorship can help you build your inclusive skills as a leader or manager.
