How It Works

A structured path from development need to outcome

GMT mentoring begins with a clear development priority, uses explainable matching, and supports each relationship through agreement, goals, sessions, actions, feedback and closure.

01

Development profile

Staff record goals, skills, development areas, language, timezone and preferences.

02

Programme eligibility

Programmes define who can join, which mentors are available and how matching works.

03

Explainable recommendation

Eligible mentors are scored by skill, goal, experience, style, availability, language and cross-functional fit.

04

Mentorship request

The mentee or Programme Lead starts a request that the mentor can accept, decline or clarify.

05

Workspace

Both parties complete an agreement, set goals, schedule sessions and manage action items.

06

Feedback and reporting

Pulse checks and final reviews feed aggregate, privacy-safe programme insights.

Confidentiality remains part of the workflow

Private journal entries are owner-only. Programme oversight uses operational metadata and safe reason codes, not unrestricted reading of private mentoring content.
