Mentiway mentoring platform’s top achievements in 2025. How mentoring is changing organizations, leaders and universities

The year 2025 was a landmark year for Mentiway. It was a time of intense growth, many new implementations, growing brand recognition, and proving that well-designed mentoring is making a real difference in companies, foundations and universities. In the past months, more development programs were created to strengthen people, improve collaboration and develop the competencies of the future. This has also been a year in which Mentiway-supported mentoring has won awards, inspired leaders and lived to see research confirming its effectiveness..

Below you’ll find an overview of Mentiway’s key successes in 2025 – along with data that shows how dynamically the area has grown and how big a role our platform has played.

1. More than 40 new mentoring programs launched in 2025

This year proved to be a record year in terms of the number of new programs that were created using Mentiway. Organizations increasingly see mentoring as one of the most effective ways to develop talent, middle managers and new leaders.

In 2025, we launched more than 40 new mentoring programs, covering a variety of industries: from technology to the public sector to NGOs. As a result, Mentiway’s mentoring has reached a very diverse group of users – experienced leaders, young talent, professionals, students or people returning to the job market.

The scale of implementation clearly shows that mentoring is ceasing to be an add-on to HR and is becoming a strategic tool. More and more companies are treating it as an investment that truly supports a collaborative culture and the development of competencies critical to the future of the organization.

2. More than 70 mentoring programs and about 3,200 total participants

Behind the numbers are concrete, very different development stories: mentees who have changed career paths; leaders who have discovered their own leadership style; individuals who have regained their self-confidence thanks to mentoring, or who have planned their professional future in an informed way for the first time.

It’s also an effect on the business side: better retention, more engaged teams, more effective knowledge transfer and development of internal leaders. That’s why mentoring with Mentiway is showing up in more and more organizations – because it’s simple, measurable and realistically works.

3. “Benefits of Mentoring” report. – survey of more than 300 program participants

One of the highlights of 2025 was the release of the “Benefits of Mentoring for Mentors and Mentees” report, based on responses from more than 300 people who have participated in programs with Mentiway in recent years. Read the entire report here: https://mentiway.com/en/benefits-of-mentoring-for-mentors-and-mentees-research-2025/

The results clearly confirmed the effectiveness of mentoring. Participants most often pointed to:

• greater self-awareness and understanding of one’s own strengths,
• Clarity of career goals,
• Improving communication and interpersonal skills,
• An increase in courage in decision-making,
• The opportunity to look at your path from a new perspective.

Interestingly, for Mentors, the benefits of leadership development, satisfaction of influence and building a culture of support within the organization were also key.

The report has proven to be an important element of market education – many companies base their decision to launch a program or introduce mentoring as a permanent part of their development policy on it.

4. Super M 2025 awards and recognitions – Mentiway’s strong mentoring position

Mentiway was also present among the best mentoring programs in Europe in 2025. In the industry’s Super M competition, as many as several projects implemented with our platform were among the finalists and winners.

This proves that Mentiway’s mentoring stands out for its quality, effectiveness and professional approach. The programs that are created with our support are not only thoughtful and well-designed, but also realistically respond to the needs of the organization and the participants.

Awards are important – because they confirm that mentoring, created with data, good structure and engaging processes, can become a company’s showcase and bring tangible image benefits.

5. Support for female leaders – mentoring as an equal opportunity tool

For us programs and initiatives targeting women and local leaders in organizations have a special place. Many companies and foundations have used Mentiway to support women in building self-confidence, developing leadership skills, making decisions and planning their own career paths.

Mentoring is becoming a tool to make a real difference in an organization’s culture – fostering equality of opportunity, increasing the representation of women in key positions and helping to equalize access to development.

The mentoring programs were attended by both experienced leaders and those just beginning their managerial journey, creating an environment rich in experience sharing and mutual support.

6. Collaboration with universities – tutoring and academic mentoring with Mentiway

The year 2025 was also a period of intensified cooperation with the education sector. One of the most important projects was the pilot of tutoring at the Technical University of Lodz, in which Mentiway supported individual student work with academic tutors.

This shows that mentoring and tutoring are not just reserved for business. More and more universities are beginning to recognize their value as tools to promote self-reliance, responsibility and the development of key competencies in the labor market.

With Mentiway, universities can more easily manage processes, monitor the effects of collaboration and support students in informed planning for the future. This is a trend that will grow in the coming years and we will launch even more mentoring programs at universities.

7. Community development and market education – Mentiway mentoring at the center of industry conversations

2025 was also a year of intensive market education. Mentiway published articles, held events, conducted webinars and shared knowledge with organizations planning their first mentoring programs.

As a result, more and more companies have begun to look at mentoring not as a one-time project, but as an ongoing component of their employee development strategy. Building awareness is one of the key elements of Mentiway’s mission – because we believe that access to mentorship should be easy, and people’s development should be based on a wise Mentor-Mentee relationship.

Summary: a year full of growth, data and real impact of Mentiway mentoring

It was a year that showed that mentoring and Mentiway go hand in hand – and together they can effectively change the way people work, develop and make decisions.
