The
Case for Coaching Research
consistently demonstrates the
importance of coaching:
-
"The
Xerox Corporation carried out several studies, one of which showed
that in the absence of follow-up coaching 87% of the skills change
brought about by the program was lost. That’s 87 cents in the
skills dollar. However good your skills training in the classroom,
unless it’s followed up on the job, most of its effectiveness is lost
without follow-up coaching. For example: Most sales people try out
the new skills for a few calls, find that they feel awkward and the new
method isn’t bringing instant results, so they go back to their old
ways." - (BUSINESS WIRE
-July 30, 2002)
-
"A
study featured in Public Personnel Management Journal reports that
managers (31) that underwent a managerial training program showed an
increased productivity of 22.4%. However, a second group was provided
coaching following the training process and their productivity increased
by 88%. Research does demonstrate that one-on-one executive coaching is of
value." -
(By F. Turner, Ph.D. CEO Refresher 2001)

It's
also been reported that "companies
spend over $375 billion every year on corporate training. However, the
typical training experience has been shown to increase employee
productivity only by 20-25%, but when you combine customized training and
corporate coaching together employee productivity explodes past 80%!"
(Public Personnel Management Journal, Winter 1997)
