Employee engagement is more critical than ever—companies with strong engagement see higher productivity, retention, and innovation. But one of the biggest challenges in engagement is helping employees extend purpose through their work.

While corporate roles may not always feel directly tied to societal impact, mentorship is one of the most meaningful ways for employees to connect their skills to a larger purpose. Employees want to give back, but traditional mentorship and skills-based volunteering programs often feel unscalable, resource-intensive, or difficult to manage when they do reach scale.

At the same time, the workforce is evolving rapidly with AI, creating both an opportunity and a challenge for companies. As AI reshapes jobs, businesses need to upskill their workforce while also helping build the next generation of AI-literate talent.

This invitation-only roundtable will explore:

• How companies are driving employee engagement through mentorship and skills-based volunteering
• What makes traditional mentorship programs difficult to scale?
• How AI and technology could help scale high-impact mentorship programs
• The intersection of AI workforce development and employee skills-based volunteering

This leader-driven discussion will bring together CSR, DEI, workforce development, and social impact leaders to share insights, explore solutions, and co-design scalable, AI-driven mentorship models that support both employees and future talent.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
