Looking for an alternative to outside-coaching services? A number of companies are, and some have turned to a much less-expensive option: peer-to-peer coaching.
According to a recent study from the Seattle-based Institute for Corporate Productivity (which goes by “i4cp” for short), one-quarter (27 percent) of U.S. companies have a peer-coaching program in place. Of those companies, 42 percent said they’ve seen positive results from their programs “from a high to a very high degree.”
Fifty-six percent said the programs are used to improve employee engagement, while 54 percent said they’re used for addressing specific workplace problems. It surveyed 250 companies of varying sizes.
