About the webinar

Researchers proved years ago that virtual mentoring can be very effective, yet many people still insisted that mentoring must be done in-person. It took a global pandemic to create a giant experiment with virtual communications that convinced the greater majority. Remote work left people feeling isolated, so the smartest companies used virtual mentoring programs to help keep employees connected, engaged and feeling supported.

In this webinar we will explore the evidence for the effectiveness of virtual mentoring, provide tips on how to create an optimal virtual experience and demonstrate how best to conduct a virtual mentoring conversation.
