What is enterprise mentoring?
Make relevant experience easier to find and access
Mentoring is a development capability within the Virkware AI-powered Internal Talent Marketplace. It helps employees form fixed-duration, one-to-one relationships with colleagues who can share guidance, experience and perspective.
The engagement does not require formal deliverables or milestones, although the mentor and mentee may agree their own objectives after it begins.
Human choice remains central: Virkware recommends potentially relevant mentors. The employee initiates a request and the mentor must accept before the engagement proceeds.
Relevant guidance should not depend on who an employee already knows
Open mentoring beyond programme and organisational silos
Bring mentoring into a broader marketplace experience while retaining programme criteria and HR oversight.
Curate the pool
HR identifies or nominates the mentors who participate when closer governance is needed.
Support a priority
Offer mentoring to a defined group, such as participants in a Future Leaders programme.
From a directory of mentors to a relevant connection
Use skills and aspirations to make mentoring more personal
A long list of mentors does not tell an employee who could support the direction they want to pursue. Virkware uses AI/ML to recommend connections based largely on relevant skills and aspirations.
Recommendations support discovery. Programme rules, the employee’s request and the mentor’s acceptance shape the actual relationship.
