Engagement by Design is live this Thursday, you're running out of time to grab a spot! πŸƒ

Most mentoring programs launch with plenty of buzz, then somewhere around weeks 6–8, things go quiet. The novelty has worn off, but relationships aren’t yet deep enough to run on their own. πŸ˜•

That slump is usually a design problem, which means you can fix it! πŸ’‘

On Thursday, October 15th, Jess Benham from Mentorloop will walk through what the most engaged programs do differently:
β†’ Getting leaders visible before launch
β†’ Using built-in recognition to beat the mid-program slump
β†’ Spotting drop-off early, before it snowballs
β†’ Turning participants into champions of your program

Plus real examples from the most engaged programs on Mentorloop, and a live Q&A for your toughest engagement challenges.

The wait is over!

Meet the 2026 Mentorloop Impact Award recipients! πŸŽ‰

25 mentoring programs from every type of organisation across the globe, in the sixth year of the awards. Every single one of them has made us so proud of being a small part of their mentoring journey. πŸ’›

What they share is a belief that mentoring is for everyone. They bring together people from different places and life experiences, open the door for those who might never have had the chance, and build workplaces and communities where people grow together. 🌱

And behind each program are coordinators who care enough to make it happen, and mentors and mentees who show up for each other. Thank you all for inspiring us to continue creating human connections, and congratulations on the incredible results of your hard work and dedication. πŸ™Œ

Watch the highlights, then meet all 25 via the link in the comments. πŸ”—

⚠️ 60% of employees use AI tools their organisation hasn't approved. ⚠️

Most aren't doing it to cause problems. They're doing it because it's faster, it's free, and no one has drawn a clear line.

That's a policy gap, and the longer it goes unaddressed, the harder it is to close.

The fix doesn't need to be complicated, it just needs to cover the right six things.

Most organisations have values on the wall but no guidance on the behaviours that prove them. 😯

If yours is the same, it might be time to have a look at them. Here’s what HR expert Michael Werle of HR Consulting Australia says that should entail:
β†’ Start with an HR audit: check how your values and behaviours are embedded in your policies
β†’ If the behaviours aren't there, a values and behaviours workshop with your exec team is the starting point
β†’ Use a personal values assessment to surface shared values across leadership
β†’ Then close the gap between stated values and observable behaviours

The goal is to get your leaders to write the behaviours that model these values themselves. It’s that ownership that truly shifts culture.

Want to learn how to get this to flow throughout the organisation?

90% of organisations ask employees to set goals. Only 28% train them how to write one.
That gap shows up in performance review season when the objectives that make it into the review describe activity instead of outcomes to strive for.

A good goal is binary. You hit the number or you didn't. 🎯

Before you sign off on any objective this cycle, here are 5 signs yours might actually be just a job description. πŸ‘‡

An employee spends hours on their performance review. It’s thoughtful, detailed, and genuine. πŸ“‹
The manager's response? "Yeah, agree." πŸ™ƒ
No discussion, nothing constructive.

HR expert Michael Werle of HR Consulting Australia says it’s one of the most common and damaging patterns he's seeing right now.

Performance systems were built to structure conversations but too many workplaces use them as a way to avoid conversations instead.

So what happens when an employee rates themselves five stars and their supervisor gives them two? That gap just sits there, unaddressed.

So is this a management skill problem or an avoidance problem?
Michael says it’s probably both.
