Abstract
A system and method for facilitating mentoring in an enterprise. An example method includes establishing a set of candidate mentors and a set of candidate mentees; providing a first user option to match a candidate mentor with a candidate mentee from the set of candidate mentors and the set of candidate mentees, respectively, yielding a mentor and an associated mentee in response thereto; selectively tracking a first performance parameter of the mentee over an interval during which a mentoring relationship exists between the mentor and the mentee and providing an indication of a change in the first performance parameter over time; and providing a second user option to initiate an action in response to the indication. The action may include initiating an adjustment in compensation for the mentee or mentor when the indication indicates a particular improvement in one or more performance parameter(s).
