Gilly Johnson, Director of The Australian Mentor Centre and The Mentoring Hub™, has recently been nominated as the Chair of the New Board for the International Standards for Mentoring Programmes in Employment – or ISMPE. Part of the future of the ISMPE is to focus on developing the ‘international’ aspect to these standards, and encouraging organisations to benchmark their own mentoring activities against a set of standards designed to ensure a high quality approach to mentoring. Currently, the standards consist of six elements including:

• Clarity of purpose - for both the scheme and each mentoring relationship
• Stakeholder training and briefing
• Processes for selection and matching
• Processes for measurement and review
• Ethics and pastoral care
• Programme administration and participant support.
