Case Study: Avison Young strengthens DEI mentorship and retention with Together Mentoring Software

Avison Young pairs 550+ employees with Together and achieves 98% satisfaction

Avison Young, a global commercial real estate firm, faced the challenge of manually managing a large-scale mentorship program for its employee resource groups. This cumbersome process, which involved printing survey responses and matching thousands of participants by hand, was inefficient and unsustainable. To strengthen their diversity and inclusion initiatives, they turned to Together's mentoring software for a solution.

Together's platform automated the pairing process using an intelligent algorithm to make meaningful matches based on experience and goals. The solution also provided training resources and automated scheduling and reminders. As a result, Avison Young paired over 550 participants with an average rating of 3.97/4 and saw a noticeable improvement in employee retention. The program's success was recognized industry-wide and empowered the company to plan a global expansion of their mentorship efforts.
