Leverage Mentoring

Almost every large company runs a mentoring programme and almost no small business does, because the platforms are priced and built for thousands of employees. Leverage gives every person on a team of up to 25 a mentor, theirs or one it provides, and structures the journey so conversations turn into progress.

Mentoring is one of the few retention levers with evidence behind it, and it is almost entirely a large-company benefit. Small businesses lose their best people to firms that can offer development, and the tools that would let them compete assume an HR department, a budget line and a headcount that a 20-person company does not have.

Leverage is built for that size deliberately: everyone gets a mentor rather than a shortlist being nominated, and the platform carries the structure that a large firm would supply through its people team. Most mentoring fails at the second conversation, so the structure is the product, not the matching.
