When your people flourish, so does your company!
We've got the secret ingredient that ignites engagement, performance and retention.
If you are a leader, hearing the statements below, never feel good and are devastating.
- “The culture was so toxic I could see people aging in front of me.”
- “I wake up with a pit in my stomach every Monday.”
- “My work anxiety is off the charts. I’m rapidly seeking new employeement to get off this team.”
The above employee experiences were reported to us in our post-covid company-impact research.
These are all employee complaints that lead to low productivity, anger at the company, quiet quitting, and the Great Resignation.
What is worse is that after Covid and the Great Resignation started, the economy took a turn. Layoffs and budget cuts left many employees feeling even more bitter, resentful, and sometimes outraged.
These are all symptoms of cultural breakdowns. Cultural breakdowns can be sneaky. They are often not recognized as such.
Stuck in culture rut? We can help!
One pitfall of company culture is that it can take on a life of its own.
The employees blame the leaders for being unethical, and the leaders blame the employees for being too negative, apathetic, or disruptive. And this loop goes round and round in circles eclipsing the company from being an outstanding place to work. This negatively impacts company profits.
If you see this in your organization, you are likely wondering, "Yes, Laurel, but there is no quick fix. It just is what it is. It is the new norm."
It doesn't have to be the "new norm"!
The statistics show, that companies who adopt a coaching culture excel at gains and are a happier place to work.
BetterUp conducted research in 2023 on 852 organizations (30,000 individuals) to determine the impact of a Coaching Culture on organizations globally.
Key outcomes:
- "Organizations with strong Coaching Cultures see far more significant gains in revenue, growth, and return on shareholder value than their competitors."
- "74% of Gen Z and Millennials are ready to quit over lack of development."
- "Simply put, if your leadership team is looking to gain a competitive edge, overcome uncertainty, or boost performance – a strong Coaching Culture will get you there."
I can imagine you might also be thinking, "Laurel, I don't have time and energy to change the culture of my organization, even though we desperately need it!" Or "A culture shift?! That is too big of a transition to take on."
I have good news for you. Coaching teaches us that the truth of what is going on doesn't define the truth of what is possible.
My message to you is, fret not.
You do NOT have to do the heavy lifting. We know how to do it for you.
Getting employees trained in coaching skills, coupled with our unique approach to learning and development, is all it takes to begin the shift.
To shift the company into a coaching culture takes one thing... coach training for transformation.
Coaches are trained problem solvers, solution seekers, and idea generators skilled at creating windows out of closed doors. Coaches are trained in communication skills that foster team agility, cohesion and resourcefulness.
We get excited when we start seeing shifts in our students as early as day two. We take a thorough and people-centered approach that makes learning fun and easy to apply.
What are the costs of a status-quo culture?
- "New data suggests that for almost 70% of people, their manager has more impact on their mental health than their therapist or their doctor—and it's equal to the impact of their partner." - Forbes, Jan. 2023
- "EQ is so critical to success that it accounts for 58% of performance in all job types. It's the single biggest predictor of performance in the workplace and the strongest driver of leadership and personal excellence." - Emotional Intelligence 2.0, by Travis Bradberry & Jean Greaves
- "90% of high performers are also high in EQ. On the flip side, just 20 percent of low performers are also high in EQ." 80% of low performers were low in EQ. - Emotional Intelligence 2.0, by Travis Bradberry & Jean Greaves
What are the payoffs of shifting into a coaching culture?
- “A company replaced all of its managers with coaches. Employees became 20% more productive and much happier.” - Fortune.com, 2023
- Managers who underwent conventional managerial training increased productivity by 22.4%. Training, followed up with coaching, increased productivity by 88%. - Public Personnel Management; Gerald Olivero; K Denise Bane; Richard E Kopelman
- Coaching produced a 529% return on investment and significant intangible benefits to the business. Including the financial benefits from employee retention, coaching boosted the overall ROI to 788%. The study provided powerful new insights into how to maximize the business impact from executive coaching. - Merrill Anderson, Metrix Global
The good news is that you don't have to do something as drastic as firing all of your managers! That would come with a great price tag.
Also, if the culture never gets shifted at the root level, the same problems will continue to surface regardless of attempts.
Employees, managers, and trainers can all learn coaching skills. That is attainable and the fast track to shifting the company for sustainable results.
More good news! Once you are trained in coaching skills, you can't return to not knowing them. It is the same with learning to ride a bike. Coaching is a skillset that goes with people for a lifetime helping them resolve conflicts and disband issues as they arise.
What are the three steps to shift your company with the power of a coaching culture?
STEP ONE: Assess
Every organization is unique and has differing needs. The first step is to evaluate who will benefit most from training. Which department, team or Executive Leaders are the priority and in a position to impact other employees greatly? If there are many, which group is the highest priority to get training first?
STEP TWO: Review
Take a moment and review the program and training options on page three. Out of your highest priority positions, which program makes the most sense?
If you are unsure about step one or two, please contact us for a complimentary consultation. We will explore all of the options available to you. No obligation. We are here to help.
STEP THREE: Schedule
Once you have identified key participants and the program that fits your organization best, book a Discovery Call with Laurel Elders, Founder and CEO. She will begin working with you on the exact steps to take to ensure Organizational excellence!
