While a huge 86% of organisations have introduced coaching or mentoring programmes, nearly two thirds fail to directly support corporate objectives but focus instead on developing individual talents.
To make matters worse, 15% of employers have put no measurements in place to assess the outcomes of their coaching and mentoring initiatives. These are the findings of an online poll undertaken by recruitment consultants Hays Senior Finance and coaching and mentoring specialists LeaderShape.
Chris Gulliver, a director at Leadershape, said: “This is a very expensive missed opportunity for UK plc in fast-moving times. Increasing amounts of money are being spent on coaching as a universal panacea, but many companies have no comprehensive overview or sense of purpose.”
