How Do You Measure the ROI of Mentoring?

In this video, Holly answers one of the most practical questions HR teams ask about mentoring: how do you actually measure its ROI? She breaks it down into two tiers.

The hard numbers come first, comparing engagement, retention, and promotion outcomes between employees who participated in mentoring and those who didn't, since these are the figures with real dollars attached. But Holly makes the case that the softer, leading indicators matter just as much: meeting frequency, session satisfaction, and progress toward whatever the program was actually designed to build, whether that's capability, confidence, or resilience.

Her point is that these smaller signals are what keep a program funded, since they give you the data to prove momentum long before the big outcomes show up. She closes with a practical nudge toward Brancher's free ROI calculator, which estimates a mentoring program's value based on participant numbers and can be customized further using an organization's own data, like turnover rates.
