The return on investment of coaching - In the United States, every second employee has a coach. In Germany, the Coaching<\/a> trend has not yet really arrived. Although many managers keep talking about coaching their employees themselves, the reality is unfortunately quite different in 89 % of companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observation from the last few years? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Conservative German companies are now also approaching the topic of coaching. Many companies even employ freelance coaches or provide their employees with coaching training. But what is causing the rethink, what is the reason that Germany is following the USA on the subject of coaching, even if it is around 10 years later? What is the reason why companies are concerned about the ROI of coaching?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return on investment from coaching<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The return on investment from coaching almost always pays off. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investing in employee development not only benefits the coachee, but also the entire personal and professional environment and the organization in which the employee works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The return on investment from coaching is significant. Here are some impressive figures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many employers are still undecided about the return on investment of coaching. They don't trust the studies and success stories from the USA. Many still think coaching is voodoo or completely misjudge the benefits. According to Workplace Wellness Trends 2016, coaching in the company reduces the Fluctuation around 65 %.<\/strong> According to a 2019 study by Accenture, coaching increases the Employee productivity by 21 %.<\/strong> And these are just some of the advantages for the company.

Through coaching, Online<\/a> or offline, many employees find their passion again and understand the meaning behind their work. As if the return on investment should be questioned. Coachees acquire new skills and grow beyond themselves through active and continuous coaching. The biggest advantage that a coach can give their coachee is a clear competitive advantage. Many studies show that an employee who has a Business Coach<\/a> has been more successful and more consistent in reaching the top of the company. Usually without much effort! But then why don't all people have a coach? The answer is as simple as it is illogical. Many people, mainly in Germany, don't see the point in spending money on personal development. We regularly hear comments like, \u201eI've already studied for 5 years\u201c, \u201emy employer paid for a seminar for me a few years ago and that was important<\/a>.\u201c How Effective coaching<\/a> can be read in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Many people think that they have already learned enough and no longer need to invest in their personal development. Many only come to coaching when it is already five to twelve. Tensions within the professional environment, personal conflict situations, performance limitations and massive recurring communication problems. As a coaching team, we can't go hunting for once! People who are interested in coaching must also be ready for change. The outdated way of thinking that only CEOs and top athletes have a Business Coach<\/a> we must finally leave behind us in Germany. Hundreds of studies show that coaching works and, as described above, makes a lot of economic sense, especially for companies. The return on investment of coaching is widely regarded as assured. We must leave behind the illusion that only managers should have access to coaching. An organization is like a chain; if you don't support every link and individual in this network, the chain is doomed to failure in the short or medium term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
