Rich Products Rich Products is committed to inclusive leadership development and providing opportunities for career advancement through programs like OWN (Our Women’s Network), which supports those interested in mentorship and growth is dedicated to improving gender equity at all levels of leadership through deliberate development of members of the Associate Resource Group, “OWN” (Our Women’s Network).

These ARG-led mentoring programs are open to associates who are interested in building new skills, expanding their networks, and learning from experienced leaders. 

One program pairs high-performing associates with members of the Executive Team to help prepare them for expanded leadership roles. Over the course of an 18-month relationship, mentees focus on developing capabilities such as strategic thinking, enterprise mindset, and financial acumen. 

Other mentoring opportunities allow associates to opt in and be paired with leaders who have greater tenure or experience. These 12-month relationships focus on personal goal setting, skill development, and navigating career challenges. Many of these mentorships evolve into long-term professional connections and advocacy networks that continue well beyond the formal program. 

For all programs we have developed a Mentoring Guidebook and monthly discussion topics to spark robust conversations. Additionally, all mentors and mentees are provided training on how to optimize their participation in the program. These programs support Rich’s continued focus on inclusive development, mentorship, and leadership growth for associates at all levels.

Mentee participants have raved about the one-on-one coaching they received from an experienced Associate, developing leadership capabilities, prioritizing growth areas, and recognizing their own contributions. Mentors spoke about how inspiring and motivating it was to learn from their mentees, and the sense of fulfillment they get from helping other women grow in their careers.
