Maintaining Continuous Improvement Through Organisational Coaching and Development

It has not been that long since most employees in South Africa could predict their future within a company. They could look forward to an annual increment in their salary and an automatic promotion after 5 to ten years of service. Today, however, the business world is far more competitive. While annual salary increments are still the norm, promotion is no longer based on years of service but on ability, achievements and a hunger for learning, qualities that, fortunately, can be acquired through organisational coaching and development.

While much of the groundwork can be undertaken internally. A suitable learning management system will help to create a structured approach to learning that will encourage professional and personal growth. However, there is a limit to how far an average employee can progress without professional intervention and organisational training. No organisational development company in South Africa is more experienced or better positioned to provide the necessary support than Orgro.

Organisational Coaching and Development Services in Gauteng

Orgro adopts a holistic approach to organisational development, combining the core elements of change management, performance, goal setting, team building, conflict management, continuing professional education and more, as deemed necessary.

However, a problem must first be identified before it can be remedied. Hence, determining what needs fixing should be the first step in an effective organisational training programme, and it is best established by encouraging frank feedback and open discussion with management and staff.

It’s not only a lack of knowledge and relevant skills that impede an organisation’s growth and development. Often, attitudes, interpersonal conflict, personality traits and counterproductive behaviour are equally to blame for a company’s poor performance.

Orgro employs an aid to organisational coaching and development that can accurately identify a person’s strengths that can be leveraged and weaknesses that need to be addressed and predict behaviour patterns by individuals faced with performance or interpersonal challenges.

Psychometric testing is not restricted to recruiting; it can be an equally powerful tool for identifying those beliefs, behaviours or attitudes that could aid or impede personal and organisational growth. These tests can help spot those staff members who possess leadership qualities, the personality traits essential for successful teamwork, and excellent or limited communication skills, thus playing an indispensable role in planning an organisation’s future development and growth.

The Nature of Organisational Coaching and Development

Unlike teaching, where the instructor explains a strategy and leaves the audience to adopt it, a coach works actively within a group, demonstrating the need for change, jointly establishing the corrective measures required and helping its members to implement them.

Organisational training extends beyond education. It involves cultivating a culture of learning, encouraging accountability, boosting morale, and fostering the team spirit that is so crucial to achieving shared goals and helping colleagues meet theirs. To sum up, the Orgro programme will, where indicated, address:

• Organisation design
• Performance and change management
• Conflict resolution and mediation
• Strategy, vision and mission
• Resilience
• Job profiling
