In our culture, we place tremendous value on continuous learning and development. A crucial component of L&D is mentorship and the sharing of personal experiences with colleagues who are working to build successful careers. This is the essence of our 'Mentor Mash' experience, which recently culminated. The first cohort consisted of 26 pairs of mentors and mentees from across the organization who spent the last six months learning and growing in their roles. The closing ceremony featured a keynote address from Rehan Anthonis, Head of People Operations at Sysco LABS, who discussed the value created by the program. Mentees Menusha Prithiviraj and Senuri Hettiarachchi shared their experiences with mentorship, while Kalana Dias (PMP, ACP, CSM, SAFe®, CGMA) and Amodh Jayasinghe spoke about the fulfilling nature of being a mentor. A big shout-out to all the mentors and mentees who participated in the program!
