Audience Expectations	To be provided with the knowledge/skill and practice to be confident in their abilities and comfortable training others.

Intervention Description	An optional peer-mentoring program to increase knowledge/skill transfer and human resources. The online assessment will identify employees who are capable of being leaders (mentors) to market the opportunity to them, and market the program to the others. Employees will be paired based on their assessments and preferences for communication, location, or a specific person.

Audience Expectations	To have a positive experience and that the mentors will be competent in their abilities.

Benefits	The main cost for the program will be in administrator hours which will reduce after the initial launch. The convenience of having a colleague to work with will help reduce mental barriers. The program will also affect employees’ motivations if they aim to become a leader. The ease of enrollment and convenience will attract and retain employees in the program.
