women get over mentored and under sponsored

Are you planning to set up a #mentoring program for women to advance their career?

Consider this:

Women tend to get overmentored and undersponsored compared to men.

The report by Catalyst* shows that both men and women benefit from mentoring (career advice) but men tend to receive more sponsorship (advocacy by higher-ups) which results in more promotions and greater financial rewards over time.

 How could a sponsorship look like?

Have a look at today’s comic strip.
