The work done by some of the employees is not always good because they don’t usually love what they do and therefore they end up doing shoddy work. Most of these find it stressful to undertake tasks and they would rather be in any other place except their workplaces. The enthusiasm of working in certain organizations is only felt by a few employees who work hard to take the company to the next level.
However, those who forcefully do their work makes the company experience great losses in terms of finances, incomings, productivity becomes low, the environment is never warm or welcoming, etc. This has made many companies to visualize on improving these dreadful situations and make sure that both the employer and the employees benefit. This comes in form of coaching the employees so that you can get the best out of them. Coaching is a great thing that brings in so many benefits to both the company and the employees as it has been explained below.
It is not always that the employees handle every task that is assigned to them and therefore they end up looking for guidance from you. When this happens, as a coach, you will need to ask them what they think of the task at hand before you give your own opinion on the same and this makes them feel good about themselves. When you have time to listen to what they have to say and direct them to those who they work with without barking orders to them, they will feel that they are in control and their performance will greatly improve.
Coaching empowers employees and therefore they contribute to decision making in an organization. Nevertheless, this should not make you feel like they are a threat to the business at all. There should, therefore, be boundaries on what they should make decisions on and what they should seek your decision on first.
In addition, when employees are coached, it makes them feel encouraged and motivated in their staff interactions. When they have made mistakes in the past, they are made aware of them and shown how they should get over them and handle the tasks that proved to be hard to them well. This is a great approach that will enable you to point mistakes without making them feel offended because they made them.
Instilling these coaching skills to employees makes the competent as well as intelligent at all times. This is something that doesn’t leave any room to them for criticism and therefore they become confident in what they do. If you, therefore, have not thought of doing this to your staff, you should do it since it is something that makes them both innovative and independent amongst other great things that they will get from the coaching.
