Corporate coaching has emerged as an attractive option for organizations wanting to increase their awareness of the needs and sensitivities of staff being relocated. Executive coaching also helps in balancing cultural diversities within a team and the perspectives of the international virtual teams within an organization.
Why Corporate Coaching during Relocation?
Corporate coaching during relocation reduces the risks associated with such a move.
It is important for a company that is spending a huge amount on sending an employee to a new office or location, that the employee settles down comfortably. Employees who are not satisfied in their new locations will not deliver the desired results leading to loss of contracts and customers. According to a survey of major American companies that assign employees abroad, the most common factors in assignment failure are partner dissatisfaction (96%), family concerns (93%), inability to adapt (91%) and job performance (86%).
How does Corporate Coaching help?
Corporate coaching helps an organization to identify the individual behavioral traits, such as the ability to adapt, and consider them to make decisions regarding relocating people.
Executive coaching helps an individual to:
- Become aware of his/her various behavioral traits, such as interpersonal skills and sociability, expectations, goals, flexibility to adapt to new places and focus of control.
- Acquire new skills essential to face cultural challenges.
- Improve communication and interpersonal skills.
- Strengthen relations with other team members.
- Cope with the stress associated with relocation.
The results of a survey of HR Professionals included in The International Coaching Psychology Review (Volume 1, Issue 2, November 2006) published by The British Psychological Society reveal that corporate coaching results in improved communication skills, the ability to cope with stress and the resolution of various organizational issues.
