Provide Mentor support.

Create mentorship programs that connects role models with employees. The mentor could also be from outside the organisation like experts in the field e.g., policymakers, business leaders, researchers etc.,
- Define clear goals for mentoring focusing on linking inclusivity to innovation.
- Develop a rigorous process to pair mentors and mentees based on their skills, experiences, and interest.
- Create a formal agreement that outlines expectations, goals, and responsibilities of both the mentor and mentee.
- Provide training sessions (workshop, e-learning or webinars) to both mentors and mentees on inclusivity and innovation so that they understand the outcome of the mentoring program.
The role of the mentor should be to provide constructive feedback and guidance to help mentees develop their innovative ideas.
For the successful implementation of the program, businesses must be ready to provide access to different resources in an equitable manner to support individuals in exploring inclusivity and realising their innovation ideas.
To assess the success of mentoring regular check-ins should be scheduled between mentors and mentees.
Regular feedback via surveys can be collected from both mentors and mentees to improve the program.
