Mentoring Moments: Corporate partners

Chris Pinnington, from Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP, explains the importance of mentoring as a fundamental aspect of the legal profession, how mentoring skilled immigrants has increased the cross-cultural awareness of the firm’s employees, and the benefits of mentoring as workforce engagement tool.

Jennifer Rowe, from Manulife Financial, explains why The Mentoring Partnership is a winning solution for employers that want to develop employees for leadership roles and increase their cross-cultural understanding, while connecting with Canada’s increasingly diverse workforce and giving back to the community.

Young Park, of CGI, speaks about engaging employees through The Mentoring Partnership as a unique professional development tool for managers and team leads, how to start a pilot mentoring program, and the support systems available to corporate partners that get involved in the program.

Monique Bateman, of TD Bank, speaks about the company’s involvement in The Mentoring Partnership as the lead corporate partner and how mentoring has made a positive impact by creating professional development opportunities for employees to increase their leadership capacity and coaching skills.
