Good morning,
We are building a mentorship program for new hires, with the goal of fostering connections between employees in a remote workplace as part of our larger onboarding program. It will be a traditional 1-1 mentoring program. I'm looking for resources/information/guidance on pairing mentors/mentees - making relevant pairing decisions and how to vet mentors. If anyone has anything to share, it would be appreciated.

Wow, this is exciting. A mentorship program can add so much value to your organizations culture; as well as, reduce turnover, speed up onboarding, improve job satisfaction, and increase productivity while driving innovation.
There is a lot of great guidance out there on setting up mentorship programs, but one thing that I think you need to consider is how you may want to set up a program that is not only scalable, but works for hybrid work arrangements. Here are some good links to additional readings that I found insightful.
