Coaching

Top-performing organisations understand that employee productivity is the largest contributing factor to their success and research1 has shown that employee productivity is clearly connected with employee engagement. Engaged employees are more profitable, more customer-focused, safer and less likely to leave the organisation so it clearly makes sound business sense to have a strategic approach for engaging employees. The statistics on employee engagement however suggest that this is a real challenge for companies with the Gallup Management Journal’s semi-annual Employee Engagement index (August 2009) showing that:

  • 33% of surveyed employees are actively engaged in their jobs (high performers)
  • 49% are not engaged
  • 18% are actively disengaged (under performers)

CareerVision uses coaching to help drive organisations to systematically improve employee engagement. The focus is on building trust with employees and surfacing difficult issues whilst constantly challenging and partnering your staff to deliver individual growth and corporate solutions. Beyond setting the proper strategy, interventions include finding the right performance metrics that drive accountability, creating a comprehensive communication strategy, and designing development opportunities for every employee, manager, and leader.

Why Coach?

In Ireland the primary motivation to coach is simply to maximise business performance whilst retaining key talent within the organisation. Evidence from the US shows that coaching has very significant business impacts. In 2003, Metrix Global LLC conducted a survey on the ROI on executive business coaching at a Fortune 500 firm and found that coaching produced a 529% return on investment. In particular the results show that as a direct result of coaching, there were higher levels of employee engagement, with a 60% improvement in productivity and an increase of 53% in employee satisfaction.
