Using Together Platform, you can invite employees to join your mentoring program in two ways:
1. Sending out a registration email directly from the platform or,
2. By sharing a unique invitation link with them.

Once they click the link to join the program, they’ll create a profile on the platform that will be used to find them a relevant mentor or mentee. It will include basic information as well as their goals, experience, and what they hope to achieve in the program.

There are two ways to match mentors and mentees on the Together Platform:
1. Admin led — Program managers use the pairing algorithm to recommend relevant pairings for everyone, review the recommendations, and then release pairings so mentors and mentees get an email with their match. 
2. Mentee led — Allows mentees to choose their mentor from a list of recommendations. Mentees then request to match with 1 of their top 3 choices. Mentors can approve or decline. If their first choice declines, then the next mentor is notified. The process is repeated until the mentee has a match.

It happens infrequently, but if a mentor and mentee fail to hit it off and they’d like a rematch you can easily find both a new pairing. You can end their pairing within the platform and give them the ability to rematch with someone else.

Every mentoring pair needs resources to help them build a successful relationship. Every mentor and mentee has access on Together Platform to resources like meeting agendas, discussion questions, interesting videos and articles, and mentoring handbooks. Program managers can also include links to any Learning Management Resources like courses or training videos.

When you use Together Mentoring Software to launch your mentoring program, you’ll be able to track the following things within our reporting dashboard:
• Registration (number of mentors and mentees, registrations by day, profile breakdown of participants, and what mentors can offer mentees.)
• Pairing (number of active, pending, or past pairings; pairings over time, and pairing combinations based on demographics or affiliations.)
• Sessions (total completed sessions, average mentor ratings, hours spent mentoring, and written feedback.)
• Skill and goals (A breakdown of the goals and skills that mentors and mentees indicated they wanted to develop or help develop during registration.)
• Program health monitor (which provides insight into any pairings that may need a check-in based on low feedback scores.)
• Custom reports (that can be made with your customer success manager.)
‍Program managers use these reports to determine the outcomes, ROI, and success of the program.
