- Abstract
The global mentoring program at Covance plays a dual role as a diversity initiative and a resource-efficient developmental tool, providing a powerful developmental experience that enriches worklife for all participants. After studying successful programs in leading companies, the Covance team crafted a program that includes selection criteria and a careful matching process, training and tools for mentoring pairs, ongoing support, and close monitoring and evaluation. The company has also tackled the challenges of long-distance mentoring relationships to make the program more accessible to its global workforce. As the program continues to grow and receive rave reviews, the Covance team continues to refine it for even greater effectiveness. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
