Course Summary
Within any organisation, individuals and teams always have room for improvement. Productivity can lessen as organisational demands develop, and employees may need to be equipped to keep on top of their roles, or new hires may lack the complete skillset necessary to engage in their roles. Coaching and mentoring are ideal for tackling these issues and improving organisational functions.
Coaching and mentoring are the processes of teaching individuals within the workplace or helping them to develop existing skills. The overall goal of coaching can influence each stage and the intensity needed to achieve that goal. Before conducting any level of coaching or mentoring, there should be an understanding of the target individual and how they best learn. Engaging with an employee in a way they understand will guarantee they will be much more receptive to any level of coaching.
To ensure coaching is successful, the coaches should regularly monitor the employees' performance to ensure they are absorbing the new knowledge and developing the skills as expected. If performance does not improve, it can indicate that the type of coaching is not working, and the methods may need to be adjusted.
