The use and meaning of the term ‘coaching’ often causes
misunderstandings. Slooter & Partners uses coaching in
situations where outplacement is not required.
The persons
in question are well-educated, talented and highly
motivated. Companies want to keep such employees within
their organisation, even if they are not performing at the
desired level. In such a case coaching is the solution.
Coaching is an instrument to improve personal effectiveness,
mainly by breaking certain habits and developing additional
skills. The program may take several months to a year to
complete. Coaching, exercises and training on a weekly basis
ensure that what has been learned will also actually
‘stick’.
If necessary, an internal coach may follow the
improvements discretely and discuss the results and
developments with the candidate.
Coaching is no longer
exclusively aimed at management positions. It is more and
more embedded in the entire organisation. |
