ASTD-Puget Sound January Chapter Meeting

“Measuring the Impact of Coaching to Retain Top Talent”

As organizations continue to evaluate the effectiveness of their people-related strategies and programs, more coaches find they must demonstrate the real impact coaching makes to an organization. While it is widely accepted that coaching programs are effective in developing top talent, coaching is also an effective solution for retaining top talent. The challenge for most coaches is how to credibly measure coaching's impact in retaining talent.

In this session, you'll learn how to use coaching as a talent retention solution by implementing a strategic, accountability approach that measures business impact in addition to ROI.

Learning Objectives:

• Organize the Data to gain support from senior management.
• Monetize the Costs by accurately monetizing the turnover cost and demonstrate the negative financial impact of turnover to the organization.
• Analyze the Cause of Top Talent Turnover utilizing an effective methodology to accurately pinpoint the cause of turnover.
• Actualize the Coaching Solution to retain top talent.
• Realize the Impact and ROI by reviewing the tools needed to accurately measure the full impact, including the financial impact and calculate ROI.

This strategic approach to talent retention will be illustrated through a case study that demonstrates the positive impact of coaching
