Overall Satisfaction with Chronus

We use Chronus to support initiatives related to DEI, women in leadership, top talent, or on-demand as needed. Peeling it back the mentoring match ultimately is to upskill, reskill, or get better at a leadership competency. This drives retention, career progression, and the employee experience through connections and belonging.
  • Algorithmic match
  • Admin dashboard
  • Connection plan
  • User interface, mobile friendly
  • Mentoring software is only as good as we provide good internal mentors so accountably is on us to bolster the system with good mentors.
  • When I evaluate the satisfaction of our mentees I need to hear "my mentor was great" and this is not a software result but a human result.
  • Many of my Chronus contacts have changed over the years, sometimes I feel I know more than them.
  • Data Feed (nightly) to easily add or off board new or termed EEs.
  • Algorithmic match (gets us out of the matching game).
  • Ongoing pulse on satisfaction, activity, and who's looking for a mentor.
  • Term rate improvements
  • Career Progression counts
  • Connectedness
These are a "spectrum" of software options, some more sophisticated than others depending on the need. There is no 1 and done tool, so we use a few. Some are for all EEs, some are for 100s, and some are for 10s of EEs. Chronus works well for our mentoring need their value is good. The most recent similar tool I evaluated is MentorEase. MentorEase seems to do much of the same at a lower price but I did not like the UI nor was the rep easy to understand. MentorEase may be good to match up new EEs with a "buddy". Chronus is more powerful we match on more sophisticated attributes.

Skillsoft Percipio (Skillport)
If you are going to scale a mentoring program with 50+ users (mentor and mentees) you need software, to get out of the "matching" game, this is a Chronus positive. You also want an ongoing pulse on how it's going, whos looking for a mentor, and adding new users. This is very easy to do with the software.
