New Web-Based Employee Mentoring Platform Strengthens Culture, Decreases Training Costs
May 10, 2004, Indianapolis, Ind. – TruStar Solutions, the leader in creating exceptional hiring strategies in the Human Capital space, and AIRS, the leading provider of e-recruitment training, tools and information services, have partnered together to offer AIRS Atmosphere, a best-in-class web-based mentoring platform.
A fully integrated administration solution, AIRS Atmosphere allows mentors and those they counsel to interact in a virtual environment. For the first time, administrators of mentoring programs can match profiles, schedule activities, and produce program reports that show the effectiveness of a well-monitored mentor program.
Companies are looking for new cost effective ways to hold onto the talent they have and build loyalty among their most valuable people," said LeRoy Robbins, CEO of TruStar Solutions. AIRS Atmosphere automates all of the time-consuming administrative tasks involved in developing and implementing mentoring programs. The result is a dramatically lower cost to operate a successful virtual mentoring program."
The application is aimed at companies with existing mentoring programs, diversity and college-recruiting programs and those with on-boarding programs who will benefit immediately. In particular, hospital administrators working on nursing retention strategies will find this tool invaluable as they attempt to take a bite out of the statistic that shows 25 percent of nurses are currently planning to leave their current job within the year.
Companies with mentoring programs in place currently have a 19 percent lower turnover rate than those who do not (Interim Services 1999 Emerging Workforce Study). Furthermore, according to the Columbia Business School, 80 percent of successful high-level professionals have formal mentors.
Atmospheres key benefits include:
- Establishment of loyalty throughout the organization
- Creation of a strong corporate culture and marketplace value
- Ability to attract new talent with a track for professional growth and personal attention
- Benchmark success as program unfold and continually assess relationships
- Maintaining of intellectual property through shared learning and continued education
- Facilitation of one-to-one, one-to-many or group mentor programs
"Follow-up and constant feedback is key to the success of every mentoring program," explained Chris Forman, CEO for AIRS. Failure to evaluate each and every mentor/mentee pair along the mentoring process is one of the most common failure mechanisms. This application ensures that all interactions stay on track through ongoing activity and team assessments."
