Employee Coaching Can Provide a Significant Return on Investment

Employee coaching may significantly benefit a member of your team. Is there a performance issue that you wish a key staff member to address before you can consider advancement? Is there a high contributor you are grooming for greater responsibility or supporting as they act as point person on a major project, program or expansion? Whatever it is, working with the right coach can create dramatic results.

How to Proceed

After a thorough search process contact the coach of your choice and discuss the engagement. When you are satisfied that you are able to work well together, conduct a three-way meeting with your employee, yourself and the coach. At that meeting discuss confidentiality. Be very clear about the objectives of the coaching and have all three parties’ record and agree to them. The coach can help you with these details.

As coaching progresses, it is your responsibility to interact with your employee to satisfy yourself that they are taking advantage of the coaching, being proactive in implementing changes and generally moving forward in a fashion that you are satisfied with.

Depending on the way you set up the coaching contract, you may periodically speak with the coach to discuss progress and next steps. Do not expect the coach to reveal confidential information. If you are tracking Return on Investment, discuss the parameters and ask the coach to assist you with tracking.
