Covance is one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive drug development services companies with more than 10,000 employees in 60 countries. In 2009, the Learning & Performance team re-launched its 5-year old corporate mentoring program. In doing so they moved from a highly manual process requiring 300 - 500 hours/year to a streamlined automated approach. The new mentoring program is being cheered internally as increasing the quality of the matches, reducing costs and creating a more scalable mentoring program.
The webinar is being presented as a Q&A session with Michael Kauer who spearheaded the changes to
Covance's mentoring program. He will share many lessons learned including how to save time & money while creating a more successful program. Listen in or participate in asking questions.
This is expected to be a highly attended event so please register today. Seats are limited. If you are considering starting or re-energizing a corporate mentoring program this is a must-attend event.
The free webinar is being sponsored by Nobscot Corporation, developer of Mentor Scout - the online corporate mentoring administration technology used by Covance and other Fortune 1000 companies.
