BUSINESS coaching helps organisations get the best from their senior personnel by improving performance and reducing costs, a survey has suggested.
Respondents to the survey, which was conducted by Huddersfield businesswoman and independent researcher Judith Cork (pictured), also believed that coaching was more effective than traditional learning and development methods.
Said Judith: “When it comes to investing in people and performance, are today’s leaders really getting the best results from their limited budgets? From this survey, coaching really seems to fit the bill and deliver results.”
Change management topped the agenda as the main people-management challenge in the research commissioned by Beehive Coaching and Leadership Development Ltd.
Eight out of 10 respondents said coaching could address their top people-management issues – from the day-to-day “nightmare employee” to the strategic merging of organisations.
The survey showed coaching had been performance-enhancing with improved personal effectiveness, behaviour change and morale and motivation just some of the areas cited.
