Topic

New, Active Approaches to Employee Coaching and Recognition 

Employee coaching has not only boomed in Corporate America, it has also evolved. What used to be only for executives is now democratic–and embraced by employees as a key to growth and advancement. How has coaching changed in ways that are more individualized, more holistic, and more inclusive? What are the most innovative new formats, including peer-to-peer coaching? How does recognition tie into the new coaching culture by boosting employee engagement?

Why Company-wide Access to Coaching Is Essential to Organizational Well-being (Thought Leadership Spotlight)

As the workforce navigates a path forward in the new normal, pre-pandemic methods of supporting employees are no longer enough. Gone are the days when only managers turned to professional coaching in order to set a top-down approach to success. As people leaders evaluate the resources they provide for employees, a scaled yet individualized approach is imperative to organizational well-being. Connecting all of your people to on-demand, confidential coaching and content throughout the moments that matter is essential to building employee engagement and resilience. Company-wide coaching amplifies your people programs by embedding one-on-one coaching into your employee experience. Join Sarah Sheehan, Co-founder and President at Bravely, to hear the benefits of democratizing coaching, empowering every employee at all levels to do their best work.

Self-Management Technology: Unlocking the Developmental Power of Self-Awareness and Self-Regulation (Workshop)

One of the most difficult development challenges people face is changing their own behavior, even if they know exactly what they want to change and why it is important. The core issue is that we cannot see our own behavior and as a result we are often unaware of mistakes we are making or opportunities we may be missing. A new category of HR technology called “self-management technology” is emerging to address this issue. These solutions use the psychological concepts of self-regulation and choice architecture to make people aware of their behaviors and provide guidance on what to start, stop, or continue doing to be successful in achieving their goals. This session will explain different types of self-management technology, their strengths, and potential concerns relative to other forms of development.

Stem the Great Resignation and Build Winning Teams by Continuous Coaching and Upskilling (Thought Leadership Spotlight)

In November 2021 alone, the number of American workers in the private sector who quit their jobs hit a new all-time high of 3.4%—that’s a whopping 4.3 million—according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The harsh truth is, as a Gallup study discovered, employees don’t leave jobs, they leave bad managers. While leadership has always been a main ingredient in an organization’s success, it’s now even more in demand in the age of the Great Resignation.Many companies are seeing a growing trend that centers around employee learning and coaching  in talent attraction and retention efforts. New research from consulting firm Willis Towers Watson finds that the number of employers looking to equip their workers with new skills has grown nearly 70% just in the last three years. Are you scaling a coaching culture within your teams? Do the people managers in your organization have the leadership skills to inspire, engage, and retain their team members?
