SOAR Mentor

Create career pathways for growth and access

One of the biggest hurdles women and minorities in the workplace face today is lack of access. Without this critical exposure to senior leaders, under represented groups are often unknowingly kept out of the conversation for promotions, expanded job roles, or international assignments. Without a formal mentoring relationship, both women and minorities are at a tremendous disadvantage and companies pay the price in the form of disengagement and attrition.
