25th May 12.30pm – Igniting Sponsorship – How to be a good sponsor/sponsee and how to find one

Sponsorship is a powerful practice that helps transform careers, based on the idea of a reciprocal relationship between sponsor and sponsee.

According to research conducted by the Harvard Business Review, 65% of black employees are more likely to climb the career ladder successfully when winning a sponsor. However, only 5% of black employees succeed in winning career sponsorship. This figure pales in comparison to the 20% of white employees that do.

Research has shown that the most effective way for a company to advance Black talent depends on executive sponsorship.
