Boston Scientific: Bridging Cultural and Language Barriers at Work Through Mentoring - Seite 2
In 2022, HOLA started a mentoring program exclusively for the ERG's group leads, who are all employee volunteers. The aim was to help them feel confident in their roles and own their paths to leadership within the company.
This year, the program has opened to all company employees, but the goal remains the same: providing people with educational seminars and mentoring to foster career growth.
In each of six sessions a year, attendees learn about a key development area - from building your brand to learning to delegate - from a Boston Scientific leader. They then split up into groups to meet with mentors who have significant experience at the company. Mentees are encouraged to continue relationships with their mentors outside of these sessions.
While the skills covered are pertinent to all employees, many of the experiences shared by company leaders have particularly resonated with the program's Hispanic participants, says program leader and engineer Brian Luis, whether they involve dealing with imposter syndrome or determining the best next steps in their career.
"We've had Jeff Lemaster, vice president of VarithenaTM sales and marketing, talking about living on the border between Texas and Mexico and how that has affected his professional experiences," says Luis. "Ebony Travis, director of Global Well-being and HR Policy, spoke of learning to own both the Black and Latina sides of her identity, including at work. This program wouldn't be possible without our senior leaders and their willingness to reveal personal insights. It shows they really care about this company, and it makes our mentees feel not just empowered, but valued, heard and seen."
Boston Scientific is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where all our employees can bring their authentic selves to work and thrive personally and professionally. See our objectives and progress to date in our recently released 2022 Performance Report.
