Career Coaching: A Value-Add for HR

When to Engage an External Career Coach for Employees

Retaining good employees is crucial for business sustainability, but how can we truly understand their motivations without a structured process? In times when remuneration increases aren’t an option, keeping employees engaged and performing requires a focus on role fit and values alignment.

When employees are at a career crossroads or facing changes in their work environment, disengagement can occur. Referring them to a neutral, external career coach ensures they’re in good hands. We support their career exploration, identify development needs, and provide the tools and strategies to help them move forward—creating a win-win for both the employee and the organisation.

Our Career Coaching Programmes Benefit Employees Who:

  • Have potential but lack clarity around their development needs.

  • Struggle with their current role due to factors like work overload, skills gaps, or lack of engagement.

  • Have been unsuccessful in applying for an internal role or need direction after completing a project.

  • Are in discussions with HR about performance or whose behaviours are impacting work effectiveness or workplace safety.

Career coaching offers employees neutral, expert guidance, helping them build self-awareness and develop the self-efficacy needed to engage in productive career conversations at work.

Employee Development Coaching Offers:

  • A neutral career coach to support, validate, and affirm their career concerns.
