The Coaching Phenomenon
Since the late 2000s, coaching has been on the rise. According to a study by the International Coaching Federation, in 2009, there were 47,500 coaches in the world. By 2023, that number had increased to 109,200, and continues to rise.
So, why is coaching one of the fastest growing industries worldwide? The answer is simple. It’s growing because it works.
This article will explore the value of coaching and the positive impact it can have on your organisation. Plus, we will reveal a solution you can explore which will enable you to bring coaching in-house.
With all that said, let’s dive in.
The Coaching Data Does the Talking
At Impact Futures, we already know how valuable coaching can be. Our training programmes are delivered by Development Coaches, who largely work one-on-one with each of our learners. The difference between this very personalised style of teaching and traditional classroom methods is fed back to us regularly by our apprentices. Learning can be tailored to suit individual needs, which enables learners to better absorb information, while instilling the confidence to ask questions and implement what they’ve learned quicker and more effectively. Such is the power of coaching. It’s a methodology that helps people to get out of their own way.
Organisations are realising more and more that having internal coaches on staff is a recipe for success. The numbers are too compelling. For example:
- 75% of HR professionals consider coaching essential for businesses to thrive
- Coaching can lead to as much as a 46% increase in employee engagement
- Coaching has an ROI of 7 times the initial investment
- Coaching can improve the work performance of individuals by 70%
- 80% of CEOs have reported receiving coaching or leadership advice
- 96% of individuals who have experienced coaching said they’d do it again
Coaching offers a level of support that goes deeper than regular feedback. It delves into the psychology behind those habits and behaviours that cause people to become professionally stuck and offers advice on how to stop those hurdles from forming in the first place.
How you can incorporate coaching into your workplace
You may already have people on staff who exhibit a natural talent for encouraging their teammates. Or you may be recruiting a position that could incorporate aspects of coaching methodology. The secret to success is to elevate from within. That way, you not only gain in-house coaching specialists, but you gain coaching specialists specifically tailored to the specific needs of your organisation.
Impact Futures is about to launch a new programme designed to build the kinds of coaches you need to succeed. Learners on this course will be fully equipped with a full range of tools and techniques that will empower them to coach colleagues at any level of your business.
The best part? Government initiatives and levy funding mean that this learning won’t be a burden on your budget. If your business has a levy account, all course costs will be 100% covered for your learners. If your business doesn’t have a levy account, 95% of course costs will be covered by government funding. Even if there are any fractional costs, we know from the statistics listed above that you’ll see a higher return on any financial investment made.
The Level 5 Coaching Professional Programme
The Level 5 Coaching Professional qualification is specifically designed to build on existing skills and experience, enhancing the learner’s ability to bring out the very best in people, and build long-lasting, sustaining connections that facilitate success.
By the end of the course, candidates will be fully equipped with everything they need to take on new responsibilities, and confidently coach employees at various levels within your organisation.
Upon completion, they’ll be officially awarded a Level 5 certificate, once they achieve their passing grade at the End-Point Assessment (EPA).
