Why teams are making the switch

Together is a strong platform for organisations that use Absorb as their LMS, but fails if the organisation uses a different LMS. Mentorink is built for teams that want to deliver great mentoring & coaching while keeping their optionality for better LMS offerings.

Purpose-built for mentoring and coaching

Together makes sense if they are OK to be locked into Absorb. Mentorink is built for organisations that want dedicated mentoring and coaching programs without locking themselves in a particular LMS ecosystem. You keep your LMS flexibility and gain a platform designed around the mentoring journey from day one.

Not just software. Real mentoring expertise

Together offers a well-known enterprise platform. Mentorink adds specialist mentoring and coaching know-how backed by EMCC recognition and experience with global organisations. For teams that need both technology and program guidance Mentorink is built to support the full strategy not just the workflow. Dedicated customer success support, onboarding help and hands-on program advice are part of the package from day one.

A more accessible entry point for scaling mentoring

Together is built for enterprise-scale programs through a sales-led buying process. Mentorink gives HR and L&D teams a more accessible starting point while still supporting structured scalable programs. That makes it easier to launch, validate impact and grow step by step. And because the experience is simple and intuitive for users adoption happens naturally not through training.

A closer fit for UK and European data governance

When mentoring programs involve employee development data, feedback, goals and career information data governance matters. Mentorink’s UK-headquartered setup gives UK and European organisations a familiar GDPR-first framework for procurement and vendor risk review without the broader cross-border assessment that Together’s Absorb ownership may require.
