Ongoing coaching is crucial to set employees up for success in the workplace by providing the tools your team can use to increase their knowledge and improve their skills. Through effective employee coaching, employers can cultivate their workers’ willingness to do the job, leading to higher job satisfaction and productivity. Coaching usually occurs through continuous feedback between the employee and the coach with the intention to work on areas for improvement and reinforce strengths to sustain the progress of the employee’s performance.
By checking in with each direct report on a regular basis, to see if their team member needs more attention, managers can use coaching as an opportunity to improve not just the individual, but the team as well.
