Sometimes, it would be nice to have a third party outside of one’s company to talk to about a potential issue or conflict.

Sure, we have friends and family. But friends and family aren’t trained coaches that can actually help us deal with a breakdown or work conflict. And unfortunately, employees rarely go to their bosses or human resources departments out of fear of being reprimanded. Having companies that care on hand could unlock potential in one’s team.

Having a professional crisis? Dealing with frustrations in the workplace? Personal issues seeping into your professional life? These are all things that on-demand coaching platforms can provide solutions to. Let’s take a look at how coaching platforms work and why you should consider implementing business coaching into your company.

The Benefits of Having a Third Party Outside of Your Company to Talk to

There are many benefits to utilizing a third party coaching for organizations for development and training.

Your Employees Won’t Have to Disrupt Their Work Day

On-demand coaching platforms are very flexible. Consultations are often less than thirty minutes long and can take place on a lunch break, after work, during your commute to and from work, and on weekends.

You Can Get Variety With Your Coaches

All of the coaches you’ll meet in a coaching platform are great. Sometimes a user will be able to schedule a call with the same coach, and when using the on-demand function they will get to speak with a different coach. This is great because it provides variety and employees can get a different perspective on their issues each time.

Coaching Encourages Employee Engagement

This is a hugely positive benefit that coaching can provide your company. Employee benefits are ultimately the goal here. If employees are dealing with professional or personal issues within the company, they aren’t very likely to reach out to their boss or HR department.

A coaching platform can provide them with a method of letting out their frustration while getting coached at the same time. This encourages employee engagement and could significantly improve the turnover rate within your company and inspire personal growth.

Employees Will Get Their Own Personal Sounding Board

Let’s say an employee is having a bit of a professional crisis and doesn’t know how to move forward. Not only can coaching provide insight, but coaches can also serve as an unbiased professional mentor or beta tester for professional ideas.

What Coaching Platform Should I Use?

There are many great coaching platforms out there, but Priizm is one of the best places to start. Not only is Priizm ultra-affordable, but it has been proven to boost employee self-confidence by 80% and improve communication skills and productivity by 70%.

Those numbers are no laughing matter. Coaching enhances the capacity we all have to accomplish awesome things.

How to Use Coaching Platforms

Using coaching platforms is actually quite easy, especially when it comes to Priizm:

  1. Create an account.
  2. Schedule an appointment to speak with a certified coach, or opt for an on-demand instant call.
  3. Wait a moment for the coach to call you back.
  4. Start talking and feeling better ASAP.

It’s very easy to implement this system into your business for employee access. Plus, when a user wants to schedule more sessions, it’s incredibly easy to do so. A customer-facing platform is also available so non-employees can utilize Priizm for their own personal needs.
