1058. How Coaching Impacts Leaders

“Some of the really interesting work that we’re doing right now that I’m finding a passion for and enjoyment in is understanding The Great Resignation going on right now. We’ve been looking into the research a lot around what causes people to think about leaving a job and what causes people to want to stay, so that we can share those insights with employers who can create a work environment where talented people really want to be and do their best work. We have found some interesting insights. For example, employees that feel they’re on a career trajectory at their current company are much more likely to stay if they have good communication with their leader and are kept well informed. Also, people who feel they are valued by the company, who know that what they do makes a difference and they have an important role to play are also more likely to stay.”
