AMKON Training Services and Motorecruit, have published a report on coaching within the automotive workplace.
‘Coaching is a very interesting subject and we wanted to establish our sector’s opinion on it’s usefulness,’ said Darren Legg of the automotive recruiter Motorecruit.
Throughout April AmKon and Motorecruit engaged with hundreds of automotive employees through social media and email to invite participants to contribute to an online survey.
‘The results we extracted from the responses were on the whole very supportive and positive about employees’ perceptions of coaching’s effectiveness,’ added Elly Ambrose of AmKon Training Services. ‘Of particular note is the fact that although the vast majority of us feel that we need help to achieve our goals, and in fact 86 per cent of us would make use of any employer provided coaching, only 55 per cent of us have actually experienced coaching’s benefits.
‘Our conclusion therefore has to be that employers are potentially falling short in providing a service that will not only assist their staff’s personal development but will also, by it’s nature, create a workforce of more successful, highly engaged individuals.’
