What exactly is coaching?

Coaching is the improvement of skills through focused (normally) one to one attention.   Coaching allows an individuals performance to be enhanced and is used to extend your good performers as well as helping to address issues of poor performance.  At People4Success we ensure we follow good coaching principles which include ensuring there are agreements with both the individual to be coached and the business so that improvements can be measured and there is accountability for the cost of the process.

I want to retain my staff and they keep asking for more money.  Is this the right answer?

Paying staff the right amount of money is important if you want to retain them, however money is seldom the key to maximising their performance at work.  Motivated staff are engaged and committed to your business.  Talk to People4Success about ensuring that your people are being paid at fair market rates and also about what strategies are going to motivate them for improved performance.
