Your people.
Mentoring each other.
Insider keeps every match inside your organisation. Colleagues sign up as mentors, colleagues book them as mentees, and nobody is ever connected to a mentor or a mentee from another business.
The rule that defines it
Internal only, with no exceptions.
Closed by default
Your organisation runs as its own private network. Matching only ever looks at colleagues inside it.
One employee, both roles
The same person can mentor a colleague on Monday and be mentored by another on Friday.
Nothing leaves the building
Session topics, notes and feedback stay within your programme and your reporting.
Every site, one network
Offices, depots, regions and countries all sit in the same internal pool, so knowledge crosses the business rather than the market.
How it runs
Five steps, all handled by us.
We fence off your organisation.
Your people join through a work email or an invite list, and the platform treats you as a closed network from day one.
Colleagues sign up as mentors.
One form, 30 minutes at a time, no rota and no quota. Anyone with something worth passing on can offer it.
Mentees book what they need.
A driver, a depot manager or a graduate picks the subject they are stuck on and gets matched to a colleague who has done it.
The session happens in 30 minutes.
A short, focused conversation online, with a briefing sent to both sides beforehand so nothing is wasted.
You see the whole picture.
Sessions, subjects, sites and hours, reported back so you can see where knowledge is moving and where it is missing.
What colleagues talk about
The questions people would rather ask a colleague.
Moving from the floor into a supervisor role
Getting ready for an internal interview
Understanding how another department actually works
Managing people for the first time
Reading a payslip, a contract or a pension statement
Coming back to work after a long break
Learning the systems and tools a new team uses
Building confidence to speak up in meetings
Where Insider sits
One platform, three directions of travel.
Colleagues mentor colleagues. Every match stays inside your organisation.
Your colleagues mentor people outside the business who need advice.
Candidates you cannot hire, and people leaving, get a mentor instead of a dead end.
The benefits.
Internal mentoring moves knowledge across the business and keeps every conversation in-house.
- 01Knowledge passed between colleagues instead of walking out of the door
- 02A closed network, so nothing is shared with another business
- 03Managers developed by coaching colleagues, not by sitting a course
- 04Stronger internal mobility, with people finding roles they never knew existed
- 05Better retention, because people can see a route forward
- 06Sites, depots and countries connected on one programme
- 07Onboarding, matching, scheduling and reporting all run by us
- 08Volunteering hours logged and a tree planted for every session
Common questions.
No. Insider is a closed network. Mentors and mentees from your organisation are only ever matched with each other.
Yes, and most are. Everybody has something to teach a colleague a step behind them and something to learn from a colleague a step ahead.
Yes. Every site sits in the same internal pool, so a colleague in one country can mentor a colleague in another, on one programme.
Conversations stay between the two people. You get aggregate reporting on sessions, subjects, hours and take-up, not transcripts.
We onboard and brief every mentor, and the Mentor Academy is available to all of them. Nobody has to prepare a lesson.
Yes. Many organisations run internal mentoring and external mentoring side by side, on one contract and one dashboard.

In their words
Colleagues mentoring colleagues
I learned more about the wider business in half an hour than in two years of induction slides.
Someone three floors up had done the exact job I was going for. That was the whole session.
Our first-time managers get a colleague to ask the awkward questions to.
The numbers so far
What Insider looks like
Before you ask
About Insider
Is it really closed?
Yes. Matching only ever considers people inside your organisation.
Who can take part?
Any employee, on any site, in any country you operate in.
What do we get back?
Aggregate reporting on sessions, subjects, sites and hours, without sharing what was said.
