Targeted 2. Open 10

Open Mentoring Program Open Mentoring fosters learning relationships that connect to and reinforce our Leadership Expectations through sharing experience and transferring knowledge Active participation should be a learning experience benefiting both the Mentee and the Mentor Participants use a web-enabled tool Mentors: Complete their profile to enter the pool as a potential mentor Mentees: Review system matches to identify their mentor Mentoring can occur between individuals with differing: Skill sets or career paths Responsibility levels or organizational hierarchy Age groups, cultures or gender 14
The Four Steps of Mentoring Prepare: Decide if you are ready to do this Determine mentoring level PREPARE CLOSE ESTABLISH SUSTAIN Establish: Mentors: Define the competencies for which you can mentor Mentees: Define focus and goals for what a mentor can help you with specifically Both: Match with mentoring partner, create mentoring agreement Close: Bring the relationship to a close and summarize the accomplishments Sustain: Meet with your mentoring partner regularly to accomplish the goals of the mentoring agreement 15

Online Mentoring 6-month Pilot Final Results 135 pairs from BioScience, Global Finance and Southeast Asia 87% (mentors) / 83% (mentees) agree or strongly agree that Mentoring Experience is beneficial 87% (mentors) / 93% (mentees) would recommend online mentoring to a colleague 72% of participants met at least once a month (recommend 1-3 hours monthly) Gave me an opportunity to interact at different levels of the organization and get direct input form more junior level staff then I usually interact with. Setting clear goals took a couple of sessions but was very helpful in focusing our discussions. Did not set tangible goals -- hard to see if progress is being made. Neither of us had much time to talk. Based on the feedback I got I was reassured I was performing in the right direction. My mentor has helped me broaden my perspective on Baxter and the industry. I've only had the 1 initial meeting with each mentee. They've never scheduled a follow-up. 19
Phase II Expansion Phase II Q1 2010 Continued expansion with Pilot groups Additional groups joined Med Delivery (US Region), Renal Global IT, Global Pharmacovigilance Latin America Participation was supported by: Business, Region or Function sponsorship and communications HR point person participating in Open Mentoring Core Team Managed communication and participation for their group Delivered live orientation/training sessions 20
Current Participation & Feedback Mentees Mentees In relationship Mentors Mentors In relationship Total Unique Participants Grand Total 470 143 487 124 902 Benefit 79% (mentors) 87% (mentees) indicated that their mentoring experience has been beneficial 81% (mentees) indicated that they are progressing toward the goals that they set for themselves at the start of the relationship Mentors and Mentees Responses 95% received enough support through the Open Mentoring sign-up process 96% say the process was comprehensive and easy to use 94% would recommend the program to a Baxter colleague 92% would participate in the program again 75% are paired with someone outside of their location or country Areas for Improvement The top reasons why mentees not in relationships have not selected a mentor: Do not have the time right now 41% Could not find a mentor who meets their needs 12% 21
Lessons Learned HR can drive program, but need sponsorship from business leaders Key messages endorsing program value and encouraging participation should come from leadership in Business, Region or Function Assess readiness for an open program Initial need to monitor balance of mentor and mentee participation (supply vs. demand) Desire in regions to start with programs that are more controlled (contained within region, local HR does matching) Varying approaches in place today to determine participation (open to broad population vs. nomination/approval process) Develop support materials to enable expansion and growth Sample communications for HR champions elearning and Job Aids to train and orient new mentors/mentees Assess needs around mentor development 22
