Key Quotes from "How to Support DEI with Mentorship Programs":

1. "Sourcing reverse mentors from ERGs can solve two major problems for any organization, giving visibility to employees from historically underrepresented groups and helping executive leaders gain needed perspective in meeting critical DEI objectives."
2. "Survey managers from different functions to get a short list of recommendations. From there, contact the individuals from those lists and see who is interested in serving as a reverse mentor and in what capacity they might be willing to serve."
3. "Matching software is a great solution to reduce the highest quality matches possible. For reverse mentoring programs, you can set any number of matching criteria, then let the matching algorithm do the work."
4. "You want to just demonstrate that you're there to understand and empathize with someone else."
5. "Algorithm-based matches produce significantly better results as mentors and mentees find the personality match is far better."
