coaching for managers

Our new headline program to upskill you and your managers in coaching your staff

Are you wondering how to effectively manage your people without the laborious HR process that bog us down with form-filling and box-ticking? Perhaps you're struggling to effectively manage your staff as they work remotely in the COVID era.

More and more businesses are switching to a coaching-based model of people management, which puts the emphasis on the employee's growth and development rather than on completing a form that no one ever looks at. Short and regular coaching sessions between managers and their team help to keep them on track without the formal appraisal process looming over them. It is more responsive, gives better results, and saves the business time and money. Why not try coaching for managers?

Boost productivity

Optimal Skills is delighted to bring you a program that will take you and your team to the next level of management. The Coaching for Managers program gives you and your managers all the skills you need to start getting the most from your people. When your managers start using coaching as a performance management tool they will see a boost in employee engagement, an increase in wellness, and a boost in productivity. Coaching focuses on the individual's own targets, and when these are aligned with business targets the result is a more motivated and more productive workforce.

save money

Using coaching as a management tool actually saves the business money. How? By streamlining the way that performance is managed, from not wasting time completing meaningless appraisal forms, to increasing the output of your people. When managers coach their staff there is an increase in employee engagement with the business and its objectives, which comes hand in hand with a boost in motivation. This is particularly the case when managing remote workers, who benefit from the discussion focusing on their goals. So the business benefits from having better motivated staff, which results in fewer lost days of work and higher overall output.
