Workplace Mentoring for Government Employees
Offering formal mentoring for government, federal and military employees is way to show employees a concrete investment in their careers. The support of mentoring can retain top people and create interpersonal connections across your agency.
Why Mentoring for Government Employees?
For federal and government institutions, mentorship programs cultivate a sense of belonging and connection amongst their people, bridging the location divide and ensuring accessibility to development for all. From providing guidance for employees exploring career paths to connecting with seasoned colleagues to build robust networks, mentoring provides a place for connection and development for employees while building resilience and retention in federal organizations.

“It’s exciting that we’re able to match people with someone from their background and be mentored by someone who is out there in the Coast Guard. It’s helpful to have someone to talk to, that can help them get prepared and guide them through their career.”
– Tobias Olsen, Former Coast Guard Academy Leader Development Program Manager

Software for Federal, State and Local Mentoring
Let go of the cumbersome manual processes that bog down your mentoring initiatives and let mentoring software take on the heavy lift. Take a ‘hands-on’ approach to employee development by providing structure and accountability that leaves your people feeling connected and engaged.
Personalized Matching
An employee’s development needs are as varied as the employees themselves, making it impossible for program administrators to understand the complexity of each ad every participant’s career goals to facilitate a meaningful mentoring connection. With Chronus software’s MatchIQ® technology, employees can self-match to connect with mentors who are aligned with their specific development needs or be recommended mentors based on the matching criteria the admins have established, resulting in better career mentoring outcomes for participants.
Secure Connection
Chronus offers a secure platform for mentoring connections tailored to the needs of government and federal employees, ensuring compliance with stringent data protection regulations like IL4 and FedRamp (Moderate). The platform employs advanced encryption and robust security protocols to safeguard sensitive information and maintain confidentiality. Additionally, Chronus provides continuous monitoring and regular security audits to ensure the highest level of protection for all mentoring interactions.
Granular Data & Robust Reporting
With participants self-driving their career development programs, collecting and compiling performance information into a digestible format can be a huge time burden. Chronus allows you to easily measure program health and outcomes with surveys and tracking tools, so you can actively see participant progress and map program impact to key business goals.
