In Reverse Mentoring, senior leaders are matched with junior colleagues to learn from them. In the context of diversity and inclusion, leaders gain insight into the experiences of someone who is different from them in some way, such as race, ethnicity and gender. As a result, the experiences of the organisation, its talent management systems and its culture will be seen through a different lens.

With the focus on diversity, it creates a learning opportunity for senior leaders as they engage with someone willing to share their experience with the company culture and talent management processes.
