Menttium 100 was the first cross-company mentoring program established in 1991. It’s name came from the first cohort size – 100 women. Since 1991, Menttium 100’s reach has expanded to over 70 countries and more than 200 companies.
We have seen modest changes to male dominance in corporate culture, but women still face barriers and there is more work to do.
Menttium 100 provides a confidential environment with a mentor experienced in the strategies needed for women to overcome the persistent obstacles and accelerate their advancement. Increased confidence is a by-product of our Menttium 100 program.
As a result of their Menttium 100 experience
Why does increasing the confidence of women in corporate roles matter? Research tells us that women will only apply for a job or promotion if they have 100% of the required skills where their male counterparts will apply when they have 60% of the necessary skills.
By improving women’s confidence, we are removing gender related obstacles to advancement. We all need a champion at different phases of our careers. Menttium 100’s data proves that when you arm your high potential women with a mentor they will take more risks, including lateral moves, accept additional responsibility and apply for the promotion more often than their female colleagues who do not have a mentor.
