In my experience, mentorship programs are great, but they often remain informal. Recently, I’ve been reading about the difference between mentorship and sponsorship—where a sponsor actively advocates for someone’s advancement. On theconsultnow.com there’s a case study about sponsorship accelerating career progression, especially for underrepresented employees. I'm curious: Do your organizations differentiate between mentors and sponsors? How do you structure these relationships to make them impactful? And have you seen measurable results in engagement or retention?
