Mentoring Statistics 2026: The Data Behind Why Mentorship Works
Every HR leader has felt this moment: you propose a mentoring program, and someone in the room asks, "But does it actually work?"Fair question.

Strong enough that PwC's survey of 4,702 CEOs found 45% don't believe their organisations will remain viable in ten years on their current trajectory — and building an agile, continuously learning workforce is one of the few credible answers to that. Mentoring sits at the heart of it.
