Guider

What Guider is

Guider is a web-based mentoring platform for organisations building and scaling workplace mentoring programmes. It supports mentoring, peer mentoring, group mentoring, flash mentoring, coaching, and sponsorship. Its flash mentoring tools are designed for short, targeted sessions: participants can find, match, and take part through the platform. Guider describes its matching algorithm as pairing participants according to their needs and goals. Users can book and host virtual sessions through Guider or integrate with Microsoft Teams.

The platform includes a Learning Hub with mentoring resources, articles, videos, and downloadable templates, accessible within Guider. Its materials cover topics such as DE&I and skill development. Organisations can customise the platform and landing pages with their logos and brand colours, while multiple-program functionality supports programmes beyond a small group. Guider says users can track progress, gather insights, and use feedback to improve programmes. The demo page lists integrations with Microsoft Teams and Outlook, and says Guider provides a dedicated Customer Success Team. Pricing is tailored to the business’s needs, based on the number of mentoring programmes and mentors and mentees; organisations are invited to book a demo. Guider is headquartered in London, England.

Who it suits

Guider suits organisations that want to create or expand workplace mentoring programmes across mentoring, coaching, or sponsorship formats. It may fit teams that need several programmes, branded platform pages, and learning resources within the platform.
