Coaching benefits your organization by creating a unified vision, encouraging inspired leadership and improved collaboration, and cultivating better office dynamics and life balance. In turn, this investment positively influences the bottom line because the success of the employee is the success of the company.

Some of the benefits of coaching include:

• Identifying barriers--Individuals and teams learn to identify barriers that cause them to struggle--and then learn how to remove them.

• Clarifying values -- People understand their values and life purpose and apply this throughout their lives. This means a passionate and motivated employee who brings excitement to work.

• Committing to excellence -- Coaching helps people to perform to their best ability at work and in life.

• Gaining insight -- Coaching adds clarity, which results in more objective, thoughtful, informed and confident decision-making.

• Setting goals -- When people understand their goals and prioritize them, they can achieve them.

• Improving quality of life -- Clients report improvement in productivity, creativity, relationships, time management, using skills and resources, motivation, and adapting to change.

The goal of coaching is the goal of good management--to make the most of an organization's valuable resources."                                                                                              Harvard Business Review

Understanding the Human ROI

Every company invests in people—salaries and benefits are costly, and training and development dollars must be well spent. What would it be worth to have each person thriving in his or her life and job? It would mean a highly functioning and thriving organization.

Imagine the return on investment (ROI) your organization can achieve improves when employees:

·        Function at their highest levels of performance

·        Believe they are supported, recognized and appreciated

·        Commit to their mission at work

·        Produce results because they are inspired.

Assessing the costs of employee performance

On average, it cost two to three times an employee’s salary to lose and replace that person. It costs companies about two times the salary to keep a low performer on board. Coaching can help:

·        Retain high performers

·        Groom up-and-coming employees for leadership

·        Challenge and inspire low performers to improve.

Typical training programs, such as leadership development, motivational and time-management programs may help and inspire for a time, but they’re not ongoing, and as such, do not sustain employee success. Daily pressures diminish their impact rather quickly. In fact, statistics show that 67% of what is learned is forgotten in a day, 80% in a week and 97% in two weeks.

Coaching sustains training ROI

Because coaching is an ongoing, comprehensive program, organizations reap the benefits when employees continue to improve their performance. Coaching can:

·        Increase retention of learning up to 90%

·        Help people incorporate what they’ve learned into daily life

·        Experience greater job satisfaction and increased productivity

·        Improve communications and relationships with peers, staff and clients

·        Increase organizational commitment.
