The Carlyle Group

In October 2014, The Carlyle Group launched its Global Mentoring Program, driven by the learning and development group. To date, over 500 people have participated as mentors, mentees, or both. Participants represent 33% of eligible employees from all geography, business segments and seniority levels. The voluntary program features an extensive matching process facilitated by global business leaders aimed at making optimal pairings, an orientation and both a mid- and end-of-program feedback loop during the year-long engagement. Carlyle’s employee satisfaction survey has recorded a 13% increase over this time period for learning and development initiatives.
