Coaching

Introduction to coaching

The concept of coaching dates back to the 1800s. There are now many definitions of coaching, but the coaching definition that CoachHub uses is one used by Grant (2003). Grant describes coaching as a result-oriented, systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of life experience and goal-attainment in the personal/ professional life of non-clinical clients.

The power of coaching has been recognised worldwide and is no longer a short-term tool for senior leadership. As former Google CEO Eric Schmidt put it “Everybody needs a coach. One thing that people are never good at is seeing themselves as others see them. A coach really, really helps.” Bill Gates also stated “Everyone needs a coach, whether we are a CEO, leader, teacher, basketball player or bridge player, we all need people who will help us reach our goals and give us feedback.” At CoachHub, we unleash the full potential of your entire workforce by democratizing coaching for employees at all levels.

Organisational Benefits of Coaching

There are many benefits of coaching, but we will list the key benefits coaching has for an organisation:

Leadership development

most common use case for coaching is leadership development, particularly coaching the soft skills leaders require today. In fact, 77% of top managers report soft skills as the biggest weakness despite training, whereas 85% of top managers who receive coaching, perform better than their peers in soft skills (Accenture, 2019; Ashridge Executive Education, 2019).

Agile teams

The most frequently cited activities for change management are classroom training, e-learning and face time with senior leaders. However, coaching activities are rated as the most helpful in achieving the goals of change management initiatives (Human Capital Institute & IOC, 2018)Furthermore, using coaching to lead an agile culture is correlated with greater confidence in employees’ capabilities in planning and executing change.

Retention

Career development is increasingly cited as one of the top reasons why employees leave an organization (Work Institute, 2019,) In fact a CareerAddict (2020) study found that 82% of employees would leave their company due to lack of career development. Career development is particularly important for the younger generations. By offering a personalised coaching experience, a company will attract much more talent.

O’Reilly et al. (2014) actually found that employees who are ignored and neglected in the workplace are more likely to quit their jobs. In particular, when employees are not given clear guidance for skills or career development, they are far more likely to become disengaged and leave the company (Business2Community, 2020).Thus, engaging employees through methods such as coaching, is fundamental for strengthening retention.
