In an era when retaining high-performing talent and maintaining bench strength are strategic imperatives for HR and talent development, the value of a strong coaching culture is undeniable. The Human Capital Institute (HCI) and the International Coaching Federation’s (ICF) research collaboration has benchmarked the criteria for strong coaching cultures and developed key elements to measure its impact on the organization. This ongoing research has revealed that coaching initiatives are most successful when they are aligned with the strategic goals of the organization.

In this workshop, we will explore the six elements that encompass a strong coaching culture including:
1. Employees value coaching.
2. Senior leaders value coaching.
3. Coaches and leaders receive coach-specific training/education.
4. Coaching has a dedicated budget
5. The three coaching modalities (external coaching, internal coaching, and managers/leaders using coaching skills) are utilized.
6. All employees have access to coaching.

Participants will hear firsthand experiences from organizations that have been successful in establishing a coaching culture including Saudi Aramco and Hewlett Packard Enterprises, among others.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Gain experience in creating a coaching culture from organizations sharing challenges and successes of building a strong coaching culture.
  2. Deepen your knowledge and understanding of specific enabling elements needed for creating a coaching culture in your organization.
  3. Be inspired and confident with an action plan to take the next step to create a coaching culture in your organization.
