What’s New in Employee Coaching?

As companies focus more on employee well-being, big names like Google, IBM, Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble offer personal coaching for their staff. This trend has only grown since 2018.

Google’s “Project Oxygen” research program dug into what makes a great manager. They identified 10 behaviours that Google’s best managers share.

Number one on the list? Being a good coach.

In fact, it was such an important factor that Google now includes coaching at every step of employees’ career paths. [Reference]

Why Personal Coaching Works Better

Traditional workplace coaching can help, but it often falls short. Why? Because it only looks at work issues, missing the bigger picture of an employee’s life.

Personal coaching, on the other hand, digs deeper. It helps people understand what truly motivates them and what they need to succeed both at work and in life.

Here’s why it’s better:

• It’s private: Employees can speak freely about their concerns.
• It’s personal: The coaching is about what’s good for the employee, not just the company.
• It gets results: When employees are happier and more motivated, the whole business does better.

What Can Employee Coaching Help With?

Employee coaching is different for everyone, but it often covers:

• Finding motivation
• Communicating better
• Managing emotions
• Becoming a leader
• Solving conflicts
• Building confidence
• Managing time
• Growing as a person
• Balancing work and life

How Does Employee Coaching Work?

A typical coaching program might look like this:

• One-hour sessions each week for 8 weeks
• Action plans after each session

Here’s a sample 8-week plan:

• Week 1: Foundation Document, confirm focus areas.
• Weeks 2-3: Work on mindset using Cognitive Behavioural Coaching.
• Weeks 4-5: Develop plans to reach goals.
• Weeks 6-7: Identify potential obstacles, and how to overcome them.
• Week 8: Plan for long-term success, summary.
