What PLD Mentoring is
PLD Mentoring is a web platform for organisations that run mentoring and coaching programmes. It helps match participants, support their relationships, and track progress toward goals. PLD configures matching to an organisation’s requirements and says it pairs mentees with suitable mentors. Participants can schedule meetings, receive reminders, record discussions and action points, and follow goal progress. Supported programme types include career, peer-to-peer, reverse, diversity, high-potential, outreach, onboarding, returners, membership, and virtual mentoring. Organisations can brand the platform and configure profiles, reports, matching, and user journeys. PLD says it can integrate with a customer’s website or CRM, without naming specific integrations. The annual site licence is a flat fee for unlimited users, with an implementation fee; its price is discussed on request. The licence includes support and maintenance, a dedicated account manager, and programme reviews. PLD also describes launch and marketing support. The maker says it encrypts data stored in the UK, uses Cyber Essentials Plus, and conducts regular penetration testing through external CREST and CHECK approved suppliers.
