COACH OR MENTOR STAFF TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL

Why is coaching and mentoring of employees important?

The concept and implementation of Mentoring and Coaching of individuals in business have grown significantly in recent years in South Africa as business recognizes the increased value of retaining and growing star performers. Regular Mentoring and coaching sessions keep individuals on track in terms of the values, vision and strategy of the business and assist in the development of people in organizations. Mentoring and coaching help unlock potential, reinforce strengths and counteract any negative behaviour, all with the aim of maximising the individual’s performance.

What is mentoring and coaching?

Mentoring - from the Greek word meaning enduring - is defined as a sustained relationship between an employee and a trusted advisor. Through continued involvement, the mentor offers support, guidance, and leadership as the apprentice goes through a difficult period, faces new challenges, develops skills and grows. Mentoring is generally regarded as the transfer of experience.
Coaching – an interaction that focuses on enhancing knowledge and skill. It is a way of having powerful and meaningful conversations and interactions delivering sustainable change and growth.
