Opportunity

Between late 2020 to early 2021, Connectr partnered with Heathrow to provide a pilot mentoring scheme for their people, focusing on diversity and inclusion.

Implementation

  • Mentors were recruited via Heathrow’s four diversity working groups, supporting employees around gender, ethnicity, sexuality and disability.
  • The scheme was managed by Heathrow’s D&I Team and delivered through Connectr’s online mentoring tool.

Impact

Thanks to great feedback from their people – like Rachel, below – Heathrow relaunched the programme in December 2021, demonstrating their desire to invest in and empower their colleagues.

“I was so impressed with Connectr. From choosing my mentor, to reading the material and completing the activities, the whole process was seamless. “I have a lot more confidence now, and I secured a secondment in my team as a Business Change Support Co-ordinator. “I can honestly say that it has sparked something in me to re-address my whole life – not just at work, but my personal life too … It changed my whole life for the better.”
