The Role of Coaching In Organizations
Our team has always been interested in quantifying the dollar figure that
coaching contributes to our clients. Recently, I came across
research conducted by MetrixGlobal that discusses the ROI coaching
provided Booz Allen Hamilton. It reports an astonishing $7.90 return for
every $1 spent, which although sounds enormous, I see as highly probable.
Our previous estimations and research indicated at least a 5:1 ratio, which we
always considered real, but conservative at best. You can find more
information on the MetrixGlobal site listed above.
A recent article also brings light to this subject, along with the
popularity of coaching and information on how coaching services are
priced. If you have any other articles of this nature, kindly send them
on to me!

I just came across this article on my desk and thought it might be of interest
to some readers. (Doing
it Right. Doing it Wrong. Key Lessons from the Highest and Lowest Scoring
Employers in our Annual Survey)
This article was in January's edition of the Report on Business Magazine and
is an accurate picture of what I'm seeing with some of the organizations we
are working with. The successful organizations are the ones that put
their employees first, with a passion to ensuring everyone from the top down
ensures they 'walk the talk'. A commitment to excellence through
communication, culture, high performance, and emotionally intelligent behavior
is a practice that we're seeing become a standard in organizations that
outperform industry standards across the board.
