Corporate Coaching is one of the most effective approaches to bring about sustained change in individuals and teams.  It is an invested engagement, either on a one-to-one or group level, aligning activities of employees with the strategic direction of the organisation.

 

In South Africa, organizations are feeling the effects of skills shortages greatly.  Through training, education and also coaching, employees are developed and upskilled to contribute effectively to the organisations in which they work.  Coaching has proven itself as an effective tool to enhance performance and has, since 2002, become a primary development and transformational modality in the private and public sectors.

 

One-to-one coaching programmes can help employees work more effectively towards results to get more done in less time through greater clarity, focus and directed activity.  It is an acceptable form of training as part of employees’ Personal Development Plans and can also form part of an organisation’s Workplace Skills Plan for purposes of Skills Development claims.
