They discussed the value of mentorship for career advancement and how mentorship promotes women\u2019s equity in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>An introduction to WISE.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral\u2019s WISE ERG believes everyone should be comfortable bringing their best and most authentic selves to work. Through events, education and mentorship, communication, and advocacy, WISE strives to build an environment where everyone can thrive. The WISE mentorship program has just kicked off its latest session and the current cohort is the largest one yet with over 70 participants!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Recognizing achievements.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way WISE elevates its members is by acknowledging and publicizing their achievements. A recent post in the WISE ERG group chat recognizes one of our interviewees, Senior Financial Analyst Briana Kaler:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote-text-break-point\">\n<p class=\"qute-text\">Congratulations to Briana for receiving Harvard\u2019s Finance Leadership Award! In addition to her incredible work at RingCentral, Briana is pursuing her Master&#8217;s Degree in Finance from Harvard. We are so proud of you for continuing your education and pursuing your dreams! <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highlighting the achievements and the advancement of other women at RingCentral is a great encouragement. Briana told us that early in her career, she did not see many women leaders in finance, which was discouraging. \u201cThe WISE mentorship helped me gain the perspective I was lacking in a field where I saw little female representation. Now we have Sonalee (Parekh) as CFO and great representation across the board.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Tangible tools.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While having women in leadership provides valuable role models, the WISE mentorship program gives mentees tangible tools for career advancement. Mentors and mentees are encouraged to meet regularly for discussion, problem-solving, role-playing, and guidance. Product Marketing Manager SanYee Dieh joined RingCentral as an intern right after college. \u201cWhen I first joined the WISE mentorship program, I wasn&#8217;t as confident, but my mentor helped teach me how to speak up for myself in meetings and on calls.\u201d SanYee\u2019s mentorship experience helped build confidence while she learned to manage the complex relationships between various teams. Through biweekly meetings spent in role-play and discussion, she gained tangible tools to successfully navigate her career.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Mentors are instrumental.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Sales Enablement Manager Glenna Barron told us her first mentor was instrumental in her career at RingCentral. \u201cHer advice is to always go to meetings with an agenda. She also taught me to network internally\u2014to harness those relationships internally with your cross-functional partners, key stakeholders, and allies\u2014because those relationships will help with projects that need to be done.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Director of Web Marketing Georgiya Marchus has been part of the WISE ERG since its inception and appreciates all of the programs that support her career growth. She\u2019s had mentors inside and outside of RingCentral during her 5-year tenure and appreciates the perspective of an insider. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve had two different mentors and it has been really interesting to see how they handle changes within the company.\u201d She told us internal mentors tend to understand the culture better and are uniquely suited to advise on matters specific to RingCentral.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Addressing challenges.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although no one wants to encounter challenges with colleagues or managers, our mentees have found it helpful to have advocates and allies in these situations. One mentee recalled a time when a coworker requested that she work extended hours on a project \u201csince she does not have children.\u201d Another mentee could relate, having also experienced similar unfair expectations. Having a WISE mentor to talk to about constructive problem-solving and ways to promote more equitable policies is a powerful antidote to workplace discrimination. Briana noted that it\u2019s helpful \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">having allies that are aligned with you that have your best interests in mind. If there is a misalignment, you have someone in your corner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Equity in the workplace.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With \u201c#EmbraceEquity\u201d as a common theme for this year\u2019s Women\u2019s Equality Day, we asked our mentees what workplace equity means to them. Glenna told us, \u201cIt means having equal access to projects and opportunities that my peers do.\u201d Georgiya added, \u201cIdeas have no hierarchy. If you are in power, it is your responsibility to give everyone the chance to share. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the greatest things that we have achieved have come out of giving that voice and opportunity for others to speak.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Empowering women.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way the WISE ERG is accelerating women\u2019s careers is through The Leadership Accelerator Program (LEAP), which encompasses a comprehensive 5-course training<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> covering topics such as working with sponsors and proactively sharing strengths. This program is offered annually to a select\/nominated group of 20 women, providing them with valuable tools to advance their careers.

I have a special affinity for clever mugs, belong to House Ravenclaw, and reside in Charlotte, NC, with my husband, 18-year-old son, and our cat named Willow.","url":"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/"}]}},"rc_img_url":"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Wise-mentorship.jpg","rcblog_by_author":"<a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/amp\" data-dl-events-click=\"true\" data-dl-element=\"link\"><span class=\"image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/69674fd5334effcc6ab5ef2d5374070cf1e9956eec785ac189f73e7db09623af?s=96&d=mm&r=g\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" layout=\"fixed\"><\/img><\/span><span class=\"by-author-name\">Abby Hyde<\/span><\/a>","rc_author_full_name":"Abby Hyde","rc_author_avatar":"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Abby-Hyde.png","rc_author_link":"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/amp","rc_post_categories":"<a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/category\/trending\/ringcentral-newsdesk\/amp\">Company news &amp; culture<\/a>","amp_link":"\/us\/en\/blog\/ringcentrals-wise-mentorship-program-supports-and-accelerates-careers\/amp","excerpt_title":"RingCentral\u2019s WISE mentorship program supports and accele...","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
