Coaching misunderstood |
| A promising and fragmented profession in need of clear standards |
|
Written by Sabine Fischer
|
Rebuttal of article in Workplace magazine, Jan/Feb 2009: Coaching has

the last 10 years. Many related professions are using the word
“coaching” to “dress up” their services – presumably to appear more
current, and to have their service appear more attractive to the buyer.
How is the market supposed to understand what a professional coach is,

misunderstood activity and most of them not following a common set of
standards?

Retention: matching employee passions with business needs |
| Recognizing and utilizing employee passions key to retention and loyalty |
|
Written by Laurie Blake
|
Estimates put the cost of recruiting new employees at anywhere from
75-150 per cent of the new employee’s first-year salary, depending on
what you include in your calculations. Given the current economic
climate, therefore, perhaps the best HR practice is to spend less time
on recruitment and more on retaining those employees who are already
proving their value.
