So what exactly is a ‘coaching culture’?

Formal and informal coaching used to:

• Manage performance

• Influence

• Communicate

Coaching Culture = Empowered Culture

• Coaching becomes the default leadership style

• Decisions are driven down to the lowest possible level

• Staff expect coaching

• Staff use a coaching approach

In a coaching culture:

In a coaching culture:

• People take personal responsibility

• People don’t get punished

• People speak up

• People seek out responsibility

• Asking not telling is the norm

Coaching Culture:

• A coaching style is widely used

• Constructive confrontation is apparent

• Helping others learn and develop is expected and natural

“A coaching culture exists in an organisation when a coaching approach is a

key aspect of how the leaders, managers, and staff engage and develop all their

people and engage their stakeholders, in ways that create increased individual, team and organisational performance and shared

value for all stakeholders.”

(Hawkins, 2012)

So, what this means is that such organisations:

• Provide coaching skills training for all their managers

• Constructive confrontation is apparent

• Helping others learn and develop is expected and natural

How much can be attributed to coaching???

% Coaching culture? % Other factors?

Calculate the cost to the business

• Increased sickness absence

• Hiring temporary staff

• Loss of revenue

• Compensation mistakes

• Compromise agreement

Calculating ROI: Step-by-step guide

Step One

• Estimate the total value of resolving an issue or the costs involved in not resolving it

• E.g £50,000

Step Two

• Multiply the sum you arrived at in Step 1 by the percentage you attribute to the coaching

• E.g 50% of £50,000 = £25,000

Step Three - Accuracy of Steps 1 & 2

• Adjust figure with your level of confidence in its accuracy (adjusted total benefit)

• E.g 80% of £25,000 = £20,000

Step Four - Subtract the cost of coaching

• Subtract the cost of coaching

• E.g No cash cost as internal coach, but time taken = 2 hours, plus cost of training. So maybe £1,000 tops.

Net benefit = £20,000 - £1,000 = £19,000

Step Five

• Divide the net benefit by the cost of coaching and turn it into a percentage.

Cost Benefit Ratio

Net Benefit (19,000)

Cost of Coaching (1,000)

=

1900% or 19 to 1
