Mystery Minds Introduces New Software Solution for In-House Mentoring Programs

“Mentoring not only strengthens the personal development of employees but also adds value for the entire organization. It promotes knowledge sharing, breaks down hierarchical and departmental barriers, and makes an important contribution to business success,” says Christoph Drebes, CEO of Mystery Minds. “Our solution makes mentoring easy, accessible, and efficient — supporting companies in deliberately enhancing collaboration.”

Making Mentoring Easier and More Effective
More and more organizations are turning to mentoring programs to pass on knowledge, nurture talent, and strengthen collaboration across departments and hierarchy levels. Mystery Minds’ new solution, which maps the entire mentoring journey, is designed specifically to support this — while eliminating the hurdles often associated with traditional, complex mentoring software.

Participants can sign up as mentors or mentees within just a few minutes, specify their areas of expertise and skill assessments, and either select a suitable mentor themselves or be automatically matched. A unique feature: before the mentoring journey begins, all pairs complete a “vibe check” — an initial get-to-know-you session that allows both parties to decide whether they want to proceed with the collaboration.

Mentoring appointments can be easily scheduled via an integrated calendar function. Learning resources can be uploaded, individual roadmaps created, and learning goals defined. A final survey captures learning outcomes and shows which skills have been developed or competency gaps closed.

Maximum Relief for HR Teams
The new solution is also designed to minimize effort for HR teams: following a one-time setup meeting with Mystery Minds Success Managers and the definition of individual configurations — such as for formats like “Reverse Mentoring” or “Peer Learning” — the program can be rolled out with just a few clicks. Thanks to HRIS integration, Single Sign-On (SSO), and calendar sync, operations run automatically — from invitations to feedback collection. Mystery Minds also provides ready-to-use marketing templates to promote the programs internally.

With this mentoring solution, developed in close collaboration and feedback with customers, Mystery Minds expands its software portfolio. Previously, the company’s solutions such as Mystery Coffee and Mystery Lunch primarily facilitated informal employee exchanges. Now, the company also offers a tailored digital solution for targeted learning and development formats.
