Coach and Doctor in Business, César Fernández, presented the results of his research on how to evaluate the results of coaching in organisations. The presentation, which took place online at EEC Alumni in front of 90 attendees, addressed the challenges in obtaining objective and rigorous data on the results of coaching processes in organisations.
According to the expert, although the number of coaching studies has grown in recent years, there is still a lack of clarity in the way they are evaluated and there is intense criticism of the subjectivity of the measures used.
In his presentation, Fernández pointed out that there is a problem of criteria, as "it is not clear what is a good result and what is needed to improve". Despite this, it is clear that "coaching has value and brings benefits to organisations".
Fernandez identified the necessary preconditions for measuring the impact of coachingThese include the need for an experienced, certified coach, a coachee with a clear challenge and readiness, and a well-defined coaching process.
In his research, Fernandez used an evidence-based methodology based on the experience of the participants, which allowed him to obtain objective and clear data on the impact of coaching in organisations. The results of his study showed that the coaching can have a positive impact on employee performance, job satisfaction, motivation and leadership.
In addition, Fernandez stressed the importance of further research to improve the evaluation of coaching and to obtain more accurate and objective data on its impact on organisations. He also stressed the need to further train coaches and to improve the quality of coaching processes.
In short, the research presented by César Fernández at EEC Alumni has provided objective and clear data on the impact of the discipline in companies. And, even with the existing discrepancies, it has shown that coaching is a valuable tool for improving performance and job satisfaction in organisations.
