This is a new initiative that is being trialed. Measure of success has not yet been established. HR launched the council wide mentoring scheme in 2023. A link to the platform is here: ‘PushFar’: Ealing Council - Login - The Mentoring Platform (pushfar.com). Officers from all levels can sign up. We currently have 30 registered mentors, and 45 registered mentees. Nine pairings came to the end of their mentoring relationship during the last 3 months and we have 11 pairings that are still ongoing. We published an article in January for National Mentoring Month with video feedback from a mentee, and testimonials from two mentors and someone who is both a mentee and mentor. We regularly promote the scheme as part of our learning offer. We will be exploring reverse mentoring opportunities as a potential offering for the future. 2025 Update: The PushFar platform is
