Coaching in Business
In today’s world of uncertainty and a cut throat working environment, everyone needs to be the best version that they can be, and more importantly, stand head and shoulders above the crowd. That applies from the Chief Executive to the most junior of staff. Change is not always easy to accept and can be affect the mental health of individuals, and what about the impact of the stresses and strains that go on in our personal lives – this too affects our mental health. 1 in 4 people suffer with a mental health issue. One in every 3 sick notes is issued is for mental health problems.
Employees who suffer with stress, depression, anxiety, or have suffered a bereavement, often have increased absence from work. Our coaching techniques have a high success rate in getting employees back to work faster, or preventing absence if referred quickly, benefiting the company by saving sick pay and preventing the need to backfill to ensure capacity and business continuity is not hindered.
After an initial free consultation, a bespoke coaching solution is designed to suit your business needs either working with individuals or teams, either on short or long term contracts. The programme can be within business hours, evenings or weekends. Sessions can be conducted either at your premises or ours in Staffordshire, and can vary from approximately one hour, with half and full breakthrough days sessions being optional.

In most organisations, staffing is the largest bill, and is therefore the biggest investment. Recruiting staff is known to cost approximately 20% of the first years’ salary of a new employee, and can be risky if the appointment does not prove successful. It costs much less to coach current employees within the organisation who show signs of potential for development. Surely it is worth investing in your own staff? Multiple studies show that organisations investing in coaching are achieving high percentages of returns on their investment.
