TataGroup – India’s largest conglomerate is putting in place a cross – company
mentoring programme. This project will have 300 high potential women executives
mentored by 180 CXO’s and 35 CEO’s for 45 group companies.
Tata
the country’s biggest employer of women at 1.45 lakh, has limited number of
women in CXO’s position.
The
aim of the project is: To have more women in leadership position and it forms a
gender diversity vision. At present the current gender diversity ratio is
merely 10 % at the top level.
The
features of the project are:
· A women executive will not be restricted to
the leaders in the company she operates in;
·
She gets wider network of leaders to choose
from.
·
Acts as a retention tool, shielding women
managers from dropping out.
The
project has 2 phases: to elicit support for the programme; and to map mentors
with mentees as well as logistics and technology framework.
This
project provides an opportunity for Tata women employees to fulfill their
potential and move up the ladder. Mentoring programme reinforces the grownups commitment
to women and encourages them to stay and be an integral part of future
leadership post.
