Why Coaching
Put simply, leaders need coaching skills because their people want coaching.
Research shows that most employees would prefer much more coaching from their leaders than they currently receive.
Underskilled leaders who can’t support their people create a domino effect that negatively affects relationships, well-being and job satisfaction, culminating in weakened cultures and revenue regressions.

However, when employees have access to coach-like leaders who bring the spirit of coaching to their own leadership style—engagement, performance and retention all increase.
The proof is in the data
When organizations embrace a modern coach-like workplace culture … results improve.
Organizations that have strong senior leader and cultural support of coaching have superior results. Organizations in which senior leaders “very frequently” coach had 21 percent higher business results.
Leaders who are good coaches have fewer employees thinking about quitting. More than 60% of employees reporting to a manager that is not a good coach are thinking about quitting, versus 22% reporting to the best coaches
According to our research, employees would like to receive a good deal more coaching from their manager than they currently receive.
Coaching provides personalized learning and support to meet each person’s specific development needs, when and how they need it. BetterUp Member data demonstrates that coaching can improve individual performance by 104% and team performance by 137%.
The Insurance Institute estimates that it costs employers around $5000 per employee when they need mental health services and that the return on investment for these counseling and coaching services is 4:1.
Weekly one-to-ones with managers during uncertain times lead to a 54% increase in engagement, a 31% increase in productivity, a 15% decrease in burnout, and a 16% decrease in depression among employees.
Gallup research shows that productivity among highly engaged teams is 14% higher than that of teams with the lowest engagement — and that employees who are not engaged cost their company the equivalent of 18% of their annual salary.
