What are examples of coaching in the workplace?

Leadership, personal, and well-being coaching are common yet effective approaches in the workplace. Coaching can be a useful tool for developing new leadership skills, navigating difficult life choices, and providing actionable tools and accountability to improve employee well-being. Also, some of the best apps for employee well-being also provide 1-1 coaching (while also providing other wellness program benefits).

How do I measure coaching ROI?

To effectively measure coaching ROI, metrics include engagement, retention, promotion rates, and KPIs such as productivity (make sure to collect baseline data to draw a proper comparison). You can also use employee feedback to better understand the impact of direct coaching.

Should I choose internal or external coaching?

Internal coaching is often one of the more cost-efficient options, depending on staffing and scope. And for many organizations, it can work well. However, external coaching typically provides more specialized support on topics such as finance, returning to work after pregnancy, and navigating other challenging life obstacles.
