One question we get asked lots is ‘What is Workplace Strategy Coaching’?
In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Workplace Strategy Coaching, including who it’s for, what a session might look like and the importance of Strategy Coaching for creating inclusive and supportive workplaces.
Workplace Strategy Coaching is bespoke, one-to-one coaching that is designed to equip employees with practical strategies to navigate and overcome potential barriers in their workplace.
These strategies are designed to complement any reasonable adjustments that the employees might already have in place, giving them extra tools and techniques to thrive in their role.
The coaching sessions take place with the employee and a Strategy Coach. Sessions can be face-to-face but are more commonly online via Teams or Zoom.
