Mentoring software that builds culture

Mentoring is included in the Thrive LMS at no extra cost. Every organisation, regardless of size, can set up and manage mentoring programmes that help employees develop the skills and experience they want to gain. It's also available as a standalone product if you only need mentoring.

Mentees pick the skills they want to grow and mentors share the skills they can offer. Thrive then suggests the best matches, and each pair gets one shared space to message, set goals, book sessions and track progress. Programme leads can see engagement and outcomes in real time, so mentors can focus on guidance and feedback rather than admin.

Yes. Thrive's mentoring software is available as a standalone product, so you don't need the full LMS platform to get started. You get the same smart matching, goal tracking, in-app messaging and reporting whether you use mentoring on its own or as part of the wider platform. If you decide to expand later, everything is already connected.

Start with what you actually need it to do. The best mentoring software for business should include smart mentor matching, goal tracking, built-in messaging and reporting as a minimum. Look for automated matching rather than spreadsheets, and check which features are included as standard. Choose software that scales across use cases like leadership development, sales coaching, onboarding and DE&I mentoring rather than just one. Thrive includes all of this as standard. If mentoring is part of a wider L&D strategy, choose a platform that connects mentoring to your learning ecosystem rather than sitting alongside it.

Mentoring software is a platform that helps organisations run, manage and scale mentoring programmes. It connects mentors and mentees, tracks progress and provides structured tools to support skills development, career growth and knowledge sharing. Thrive's mentoring software goes further with skills-based mentor matching, built-in messaging, goal tracking and real-time reporting, all included as standard.

Peer-to-peer learning is where employees learn from each other by sharing knowledge, experience and real-world insights. It's one of the most effective ways to develop skills because it's immediate, relevant and grounded in actual work. Thrive enables peer-to-peer learning through mentoring, social learning spaces and structured knowledge sharing, helping organisations build capability faster than traditional training alone.

Mentor matching pairs mentees with the mentors best placed to help them grow. In Thrive, mentees pick the skills they want to develop, mentors share the skills they can offer, and Thrive suggests the best pairs based on skills, goals, roles and experience. It replaces manual matching from spreadsheets or memory, which is how British Airways reached a 70% match rate in eight weeks.

Enterprise mentoring software helps large organisations run mentoring programmes across thousands of people, teams and countries. It needs smart matching at scale, reporting for leaders, integrations with HR systems and enterprise-grade security. Thrive's mentoring software is used by organisations like British Airways and is part of the Thrive enterprise LMS, which is SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified and available in 74 languages.

The best mentoring software for business should include smart mentor matching, goal tracking, in-app messaging and reporting as a minimum. Thrive goes beyond standalone mentoring tools by combining mentoring with a full LMS, AI-powered features and social learning, and is rated 4.6 out of 5 by customers. Organisations like British Airways, the AA and The Early Careers Foundation use Thrive to run mentoring programmes, with British Airways reaching a 70% match rate in eight weeks and The Early Careers Foundation achieving 94% positive outcomes. It's also available as a standalone product, so you don't need the full platform to get started.

Start by setting clear goals together and meeting regularly. The best mentoring relationships are built on trust, honest conversation and shared accountability. Focus on listening, asking questions and sharing real experience rather than just giving instructions. Track progress against goals so both mentor and mentee can see growth over time. Tools like Thrive's mentoring software make this easier by handling the matching, goal setting, scheduling and progress tracking, so you can focus on the conversation, not the admin.

Yes. Mentorship software and mentoring software are two names for the same thing: a platform that matches mentors and mentees, supports their conversations and goals, and tracks the impact of mentoring programmes. Thrive's mentorship software includes mentor matching, messaging, goal tracking and reporting, and is available standalone or as part of the Thrive LMS.

Yes. Thrive connects with HR systems, SSO and workplace tools, including Workday, Microsoft Teams and Slack, with 65+ integrations in total. That means mentors and mentees can sign in with their existing accounts, and users and groups can stay in sync with your HR system without manual uploads.

Yes. Thrive is headquartered in Nottingham, UK, with offices in the UAE and USA. Our mentoring software is used by UK organisations including British Airways, the AA and The Early Careers Foundation, and Thrive is trusted by 500+ organisations across 60+ countries.

Thrive supports five types of mentoring: traditional 1:1 mentoring, coaching, sponsorship, lightweight coffee chats and buddy-ups, and peer mentoring, where people can be both a mentor and a mentee. Every format uses the same skills-based matching, shared goals and reporting, so you can run several programmes side by side in one platform.
