THE 30% CLUB AND MISSION INCLUDE CROSS-COMPANY MENTORING
Proven. Practical. Powerful.
Moving Ahead has been proud to deliver the 30% Club cross-company mentoring programme since 2014, and through it, to have advanced gender diversity across many organisations. From eight organisations and 80 participants in that first year, the programme scaled to 194 organisations and 2,634 mentors and mentees.
We’re delighted at the decision by the 30% Club to broaden its focus beyond gender. The new campaign targets for the UK over the next three years centre on bringing greater ethnic diversity to top management positions. To us, the 30% Club’s adoption of Mission INCLUDE is a critical step in building this talent pipeline.
With its focus on broader inclusion, Mission INCLUDE is the perfect complement to the 30% Club programme. Both programmes deliver the proven benefits of structured, cross-company, cross-sector mentoring to mentees and mentors alike, and champion diverse talent and inclusion within the organisations that take part.
“The 30% Club is delighted to build on the success and impact of our cross-company mentoring programme through the rollout of Mission INCLUDE. While our focus on gender continues to be central to building the pipeline and achieving parity of women in leadership and board roles, Mission INCLUDE furthers our aspirations for a world in which organisations foster truly inclusive cultures – cultures that embrace people who look, act and, importantly, THINK differently – so they can reach their full potential to positively impact their people, their markets and their communities”
