HR Coaching
One to one coaching to develop your HR people
Are your HR people as effective as they could be?
As a leader or business owner you want your HR team to make an impact across the business. To build productive relationships and gain the respect and trust of your line managers. To have the confidence to manage change and help create a positive culture. To inspire the best people to want to join and stay.
In my experience, there’s always room to improve how your HR people perform. And they are only too pleased to have that support.
Why invest in HR Coaching?
Good HR delivery is essential in any business, no matter what size. But just like in any other role, HR people need support and development to be truly effective.
That’s where HR Coaching can help.
As a former HR Director in organisations including Virgin Mobile and sustainable energy provider Pure Planet, I’ve seen the impact good HR people can bring. And I’ve helped mentor and develop many along the way. I also know, from personal experience, that not every leader has the time to devote to developing their HR talent, no matter how much they might want to.
And this is why I get asked to help. In my experience, the desire to do well and the engagement with the values of the employer isn’t lacking. What can be missing is the awareness of how organisations work - along with a little self-confidence.
After a few coaching sessions the improvements can be transformational.
How it works
-
You know your business and your people best. I often start with a call to determine what you - and they need to breakthrough any barriers.
-
Every person and every scenario are different. Each coaching plan is tailored to what the employee needs and at a pace they are comfortable with.
-
They may need as little as a couple of sessions to work through a single issue that’s been holding them back. Or perhaps a series of sessions will achieve broader and longer term goals.
HR coaching supports better HR delivery – and that builds businesses better equipped for growth.
