• {{organizational_goals}}: Key business objectives the program should support.
• {{available_resources}}: Budget, time, and personnel available for the program.

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the employee feedback to identify common themes and preferences for mentorship and coaching.
3. Define clear program goals that link directly to the organizational goals provided.
4. Outline selection criteria for mentors and coaches, ensuring they match employee preferences and skill needs.
5. Propose a matching process that pairs mentors/coaches with mentees based on skills, experience, and compatibility.
6. Recommend a structure for the program, including duration, frequency of meetings, and support mechanisms.
7. Suggest metrics to measure the program's success and its impact on retention.

Output format Provide a structured program proposal with sections: Goals, Selection Criteria, Matching Process, Program Structure, and Success Metrics. Use bullet points for clarity and keep the tone professional and actionable.

Guardrails

• Do not invent employee feedback or organizational goals; base all recommendations on the provided inputs.
• Flag any assumptions about resources or constraints.
• Stay within the scope of mentorship and coaching; do not expand into other HR initiatives.

Example Employee feedback: "Staff want more senior leaders involved in their growth." Organizational goals: "Increase internal promotions by 20%." Available resources: "$50k budget, 10 senior leaders willing to mentor."
