Coaching
• Coaching is a fundamental performance management
activity that takes the opportunities presented by the work
itself and uses them to develop the knowledge, skills,
competencies and therefore the performance of people.
Coaching opportunities arise in two ways: informally on a
day-to-day basis, and after a formal performance review
that identifies learning and development needs.
• Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)
survey 2008 found that 44 per cent of organizations offer
coaching to all employees and the most important
providers of coaching were line managers.
Coaching
• Research by Graham, Wedman and Garvin-Kester
(1994) showed that specific coaching behaviors
have been directly correlated with net increase in
sales. Research by Ellinger (2003) indicated that
improvements in systems and cost savings may be
directly attributed to coaching interventions by
managers. Another research shows that supervisory
coaching behavior is a highly significant predictor
of employee job satisfaction and performance.
Coaching
• Coaching can be distinguished from mentoring and
counseling. Mentoring describes a relationship in which a
more experienced individual uses his or her greater
knowledge and understanding of the work or workplace to
support the development of a more junior or inexperienced
colleague.
• Counseling addresses the employee’s emotional state and
the causes of personal crises and problems. It is usually
conducted by trained counselors and involves short-term
interventions designed to remedy problems that interfere
with the employee’s job satisfaction.
