  4. Coaching in Context • Coaching exists in the context of Learning and Development efforts to support productivity and performance. • The ability of an organization to respond quickly and effectively to change is dependent on the ability of its employees to learn, adapt and evolve. • Coaching has emerged as a way to deliver swift and effective employee development. Case for Coaching – Jarvis, et al

  5. The Purpose of Coaching “The purpose of coaching is to produce behavioral change and growth in the coachee for the economic benefit of the client.” Harvard Business Online, December 2004

  6. Types of Organizational Coaching • Remedial coaching –designed to support the employee who is not succeeding. • Developmental coaching – designed to enhance the abilities of the successful employee.

  7. A Question Of Balance “Coaching is particularly effective when it is focused on driving behavioral change rather then cultural change and when the emphasis is upon positive performance outcomes rather then remedial issues.” - Alec Levenson, Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology (SIOP)

  11. Agenda Free Coaching • As the name implies, a broad and open focus to the coaching dialogue • Harder to evaluate because there may be no identified objectives • Where coaching goes when it is not given some intentional structure

  12. Coaching Culture • A pervasive approach to learning that is used throughout the organization • Requires that employees act as both learner and coach • Generally seen as dynamic and empowering of employees “Coaching culture…….coaching is the predominant style of managing and working together and where commitment to improving the organization is embedded in a parallel commitment to improving the people.” Clutterbuck and Megginson, Making Coaching Work 2005

  36. BCR - (Benefit Cost Ratio)ROI – (Return On Investment) BCR = Program Benefits divided by Program Costs ROI (%) = (Net Program Benefits divided by Program Costs) x 100 Example: A BCR of 2:1 means that for every dollar invested you get 2 back. This is equal to an ROI of 100% which means that for very $1 invested you get back $1 after the costs are covered (you get your investment back plus $1.)

  37. Return On Investment (ROI) Return on investment is evaluation that is calculated in financial terms. The financial benefit of coaching vs. the cost. Possible coaching ROI measurements are: • retention • Decrease in expenses • Productivity • Employee satisfaction It is essential to have baseline data for comparison and minimize impact on organizational resources and time.

  40. Human Capital Management • Human Capital Management views people as a resource to be maintained and developed vs. an expense to be managed. • Today’s workplace realities dictate the options that organizations have available to effectively support their human assets. • Coaching is a tool for managing human capital in a way that supports productivity and individual, team and organizational success.
