Step up your engagement and performance management by learning how to coach your direct reports
Two of the most impactful workplace trends are employee engagement and coaching. Given the scarcity of employees and huge retention problems, the ability to control employees is dead. Coaching on the part of today’s manager is part of the answer.
Difficulty attracting employees, difficulty engaging employees, remote employees, turnover, claims, and brand damage—all are enormous challenges for every company today! Since we can’t “control” or “micro-manage” employees—nor do we really want to—best practices, engagement, and coaching are our only options!
In this fast-moving presentation, executive coach Don Phin will share strategies and tools to help you and your managers step up their engagement and performance management games by learning how to coach their direct reports.
