Symptom
How to create supervised and unsupervised programs in Mentoring?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development (Mentoring)
Resolution
Using Mentoring to manage your development programs replaces the traditional, bulky, and manual processes and the spreadsheets that go with them. Mentoring provides you with the tools you need to define the program, invite mentors and mentees to participate, and then monitor the program to closing. You have the flexibility to define both supervised and unsupervised programs. The major difference being whether or not your mentoring administrator is involved in the matching phase of the program.
Procedure
- Supervised: In supervised matching, the administrator auto-generates and manually edits matches and the program dates strictly control the program process. For example, mentor sign-up ends when mentee sign-up starts.
- Unsupervised: In unsupervised matching, the system provides guidance but mentees make direct requests to mentors. The program dates are also more flexible in unsupervised programs. For example, mentor sign-ups can continue even after mentee sign-up starts. However once the program is officially begun no more participants can be added.
- Note: If a mentor or mentee rejects the invitaion they cannot particpate in the program
