• {{company_values}}: the core values that should guide the program.
• {{employee_stages}}: the career stages or specific groups of employees the program will serve.
• {{existing_resources}}: any existing mentorship or coaching resources or structures.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Outline a comprehensive program structure, including roles, responsibilities, and timelines.
3. Provide best practices for matching mentors/coaches with mentees/coachees, considering goals and compatibility.
4. Suggest strategies to ensure the program addresses the unique needs of different career stages.

Guardrails

• Do not assume specific company size or industry; make recommendations adaptable.
• Avoid prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach; emphasize customization.
• Flag any assumptions about employee availability or resources.

Example

• {{program_goals}}: increase retention of high-potential employees; {{company_values}}: innovation and collaboration; {{employee_stages}}: early-career and mid-level; {{existing_resources}}: a small HR team.
