PLD Mentoring
Wilmslow, Cheshire, United Kingdom
What it is
PLD Mentoring is a web platform for organisations running mentoring and coaching programmes. It supports participant matching, relationship management, and progress tracking. PLD configures rules-based matching around an organisation’s requirements and says it pairs mentees with suitable mentors. Participants can schedule meetings, receive reminders, record discussion and action points, and track progress toward goals. Supported programme types include career, peer-to-peer, reverse, diversity, high-potential, outreach, onboarding, returners, membership, and virtual mentoring. Organisations can brand the service and configure profiles, reports, matching, and user journeys. PLD says it can integrate with a customer’s website or CRM. The annual site licence is a flat fee for unlimited users, with an implementation fee and pricing discussed on request. It includes support and maintenance, a dedicated account manager, and programme reviews. PLD also describes launch and marketing support. The maker cites Cyber Essentials Plus, UK data encryption, regular external penetration testing, GDPR compliance, and independent WCAG 2.2 AA audits.
