As an effective leader, you understand the benefits of performance coaching and development. But coaching is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and approaching it as such can leave some of your workforce unable to capitalize. With the help of our Ultimate Guide to High-Impact Coaching, part of Right Management’s 2024 State of Careers series, you’ll discover how a human-centric approach helps overcome barriers and gets measurable results.
High-Impact, Human-Centered Coaching
The inherent flaw with traditional approaches to coaching is that they measure success by performance improvement. But high-impact, human-centered coaching focuses on developing people in such a way that it benefits them as well as the organization. Not only does this approach drive results from people, but it benefits engagement, retention, and the development of leaders.
When it comes to coaching, there are three ostensible barriers:
- Limited Leadership Support. Senior leadership and direct managers must buy in for coaching to be effective.
- Inability to Measure Impact. Measuring the success of coaching should align with the goals of the organization.
- Budget Constraints. By aligning coaching with the desired outcomes and priorities of your organization—including measurables like lower turnover and higher productivity—you can demonstrate return on investment (ROI).
How can we measure ROI? These six approaches allow you to demonstrate and assess the effectiveness of high-impact coaching.
- Conducting employee assessments before and after coaching.
- Tracking performance indicators including quality of work.
- Monitoring employee engagement and retention rates.
- Collecting insights from surveys and direct feedback.
- Evaluating performance metrics, including revenue growth and customer satisfaction.
- Presenting case studies that demonstrate the impact of coaching.
For your approach to coaching to be effective, there are four best practices to keep in mind:
- Coaching must be accessible.
- Take an individualized, one-of-one approach.
- Work with a trusted coaching provider like Right Management.
- Understand that continuous change and adaptation ensure effectiveness.
