What can Coaching do for you & your organisation?

Whether you want to set new employees up for success, facilitate development from a culture of promoting from within, or support top talent by sustaining & retaining high potential employees, coaching proves to be fantastic tool to implement this.

A recent study of Executive Coaching in a Fortune 500 firm by MetrixGlobal reported a 529% return on investment and significant intangible benefits to the business. Another survey of 100 executives found that coaching provided an average return on investment of almost six times the cost of the coaching.

At Resourceful Pro, we offer three Coaching Onboarding services with all programmes designed to suit specific needs and situations.

Onboarding

A formal onboarding process provides new executive hires with a strong support network to navigate the personal and professional complexities of starting a new role. At Resourceful Pro, we see onboarding as an extension of the recruitment process, and provide a personal coach to your new employee for the duration of their resignation and probation period.

Professional coaches have a substantial effect on an organisation’s ability to retain new executives.

“My coach was a reliable sounding board and offered insightful support that readily adapted to emerging developments over the transition period.”

Our coaches act as a confidante and sounding board, providing a balance of support and challenge so the new employee can more effectively learn, develop and adapt to the new situation.

Transitioning

Our Transitioning programme supports internal applicants through a promotion and helps them navigate the challenges and transitory stresses associated with an upward move.

The programme provides a sounding board for appointees as they traverse their newly found position of authority, and provides them with valuable tools for developing strategies to gain leadership support, leverage personal networks and assess the context of their new role.

Coaches facilitate a safe environment for self-reflection, allowing the leader to manage self-perception and the perception of others as well as any complexities associated with the transition.

Support the growth and promotion of ambitious and talented individuals

Adopting a formal Transitioning Programme demonstrates that a company is serious about providing opportunities for ambitious and motivated team members and encourages applications from existing talent.

We support any promoted appointee to explore the variation between their current and new role, handle the new team and peer group, as well as manage the shift from team member to leader, or team leader to corporate executive.

Key benefits

• Supports promoted team members through their newly found position of power and authority
• Accelerates the appointee’s ability to move to a position of creating value and quick wins as soon as possible
• Equips the appointee to assess the role in transition to understand variations between the current and new role
• Equips the appointee to assess the role in context and understand their new team, new peer group and previous peer group
• Supports the executive through the challenges associated with a new role as well as managing perceptions and expectations
• Provides valuable coaching for adapting behaviours for the new position and leveraging support from the executive peer group
• Encourages applications from talented and ambitious internal team members

Sustaining

Contemporary organisations strive to offer opportunities and career pathways for their leadership and staff. Effectively managing the recruitment, selection and post-hire process when internal candidates are involved demonstrates a commitment to supporting and developing ambitious team members.

Our Sustaining programme aims to retain talented personnel who were actively considered for a promotion, whilst providing continued personal development for the unsuccessful applicant to grow in capability.

Our coach provides a formal sounding board for managing emotional response to the outcome, redefining career aspirations and identifying a development pathway.

Build confidence and renewed engagement through a future focus

Designed for candidates who made it to the interview stage, our program supports the candidate to analyse interview feedback and assess the implications while quickly shifting to a future focused perspective.

The program offers candidates a chance to reassess career aspirations and identify areas for skills improvement or diversification. Communicating effectively with the successful applicant (where relevant) is explored and workshopped.

Key benefits

• Retain exceptional talent and facilitate engagement in the role despite being the unsuccessful applicant
• Provides a structured methodology for dealing the emotional response of being unsuccessful including managing communications with the team and the new hire
• Builds confidence by reflecting on career successes to date and identifying next steps
• Equips the employee to realign and reassess career aspirations by considering current skill set and identifying development opportunities
• Demonstrates a commitment by the employer to taking internal promotional opportunities seriously and supporting staff development
