Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion is a natural fit for mentoring. In fact, research has shown that a diverse network can help support deeper learning, spark more innovation, increase performance and productivity, and generate better overall collaboration.

With River’s mentoring software and services, you can support D&I through mentoring programs that bring people together regardless of age, gender, location, or title.

As the numbers show, diversity-focused mentoring programs are one of the tops ways companies can develop a diverse and inclusive workforce. Let River help you create dynamic and diverse mentoring networks. Contact us to get started today!

Onboarding

When someone joins your company, how easy is it for them to learn the ropes, build a new network, get up to speed, and dive into the work you hired them to do?

With a mentoring program powered by River, you can help your new employees tap into the knowledge resources of your company from day one—and make them feel like they are cared about right from the start.

Contact us today to learn how you can make mentoring part of your onboarding success story.

High Potential Programs

Mentoring and high-potential programs go hand-in-hand. Unfortunately, this often also means a huge administrative burden goes along with running a mentoring program for your high-potentials. Well, not anymore…

River’s mentoring software easily automates the matching process and administrative tasks for you so you can run your high-potential mentoring program more efficiently. As you build your program and run it more smoothly with River, you can simultaneously increase your high-potential bench strength. How? Because 84% of high-potentials actively identify and develop potential in others.It’s the ultimate win-win. Contact us today to learn how River can make your high-potential program a mentoring mecca.

Succession Planning

Workforce demographics are changing. Millennials are rising in numbers, and Baby Boomers are retiring. Yet just 5% of companies have implemented specific policies and management practices to address the skills gap as older workers retire. (Source: SHRM-AARP Strategic Workforce Planning Survey, 2012.)

Let River help you address the skills gap and get more out of your succession planning efforts—before it ever becomes an issue.

A mentoring program powered by River can help you effectively connect key employees with trusted leaders so they can share critical knowledge before they leave. This helps guarantee a functional “bench” for your organization’s leadership—and provides a smooth transition can occur as the old guard leaves and the new generation takes over.

Contact us today to learn more about how a mentoring program driven through River’s mentoring software can play a role in your succession planning efforts.
