Orijen has developed two exceptionally successful Mentoring programs for Hewlett Packard - the Executive Mentoring for Women and Mentoring For Growth programs

Executive Mentoring for Women

In the male-dominated IT industry where there are few women in senior management, Orijen was approached by Hewlett Packard to initiate a program for their high potential women.

Hewlett Packard had two main objectives:

• To develop high potential women within HP.
• To attract more women into their workforce.

To achieve these objectives Orijen developed a 12 month program using external Orijen accredited mentors, participants meeting their mentors for two hours each month.

The inaugural program proved to be very successful and our evaluation at the completion of the program highlighted how much the mentees identified positive changes in their behaviour and their attitudes - changes they attributed directly to the mentoring program.

Reported changes included:

• Increases in confidence and self-esteem.
• A capacity to better manage their own careers.
• Improvements in their existing skills and in the way they did their job.
• Taking on more responsibility within their current role and gaining a broader perspective on leadership.
  

The program is now in its fourth year and following its enormous success in Australia has been introduced to HP offices in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Singapore.

Mentoring For Growth

Following the success of the women's program, Hewlett Packard wanted a wider number of their staff to benefit from Orijen’s expertise. We developed the Mentoring  For Growth program which is a mentoring program for both women and men in HP.
The program utilises senior Hewlett Packard employees as internal mentors, many of whom have been mentees in the women's program, to support high potential employees within the organisation.
