To be successful in talent retention and effectively
address the challenges of a shrinking labor pool,
an organization must engage its critical talent and
groom the next generation of leaders. A coaching centered
work culture enhances retention, engagement,
and leadership development by addressing
the evolving interests and career development
goals of an organization’s talent.
The firm, Deloitte Services LLP, created a coaching-
centered work culture by providing a variety
of coaching services at all levels of the organization.
Deloitte developed coaching-centered strategies
to address issues of management and leadership,
career development, teamwork, internal
mobility and other transitions, and organizational
initiatives. The result has been that 77% of
Deloitte’s employees feel better prepared for their
next role. Deloitte was also able to re-deploy within
the company nearly 800 people that would have
otherwise left the organization for other opportunities,
yielding a $115 million return on investment.
