Coaching for your employees
Are you looking for a coach for your employees? For example, do you want to prevent stress and burnout? A good work-life balance can help with that. At Buddy coaching (part of Akerendam) we help companies with the coaching of their people.
The importance of coaching
A burnout can be caused by a longer period of stress and mental overload. Causes are often that someone is not in the right place, works ineffectively or cannot break through existing unhelpful patterns. If this is not properly addressed, it can lead to long-term absenteeism or early departure of staff. We often see that people with these problems keep walking because ‘It’s almost vacation’ or ‘I don’t want to be a poser’. In the long run, the stress then leads to physical complaints and that can result in a burnout.
It is therefore good to be ahead of this as an employee. A coach can help employees preventively in recognizing chronic stress and stress-related complaints. In addition, the coach can offer insights into ways in which someone can work more effectively, deal with situations or help to get concrete where someone’s strengths lie and whether he or she is in the right place.
A good coach ensures more happiness at work. Motivation goes up. Employees feel better about themselves. Daring to present. Are becoming more assertive. And do things with more awareness. The positive energy skyrockets. And the stress is reduced.
“Actually, you never take the time to discuss your balance properly. I would recommend it to everyone.”
The benefits of coaching
The advantage of a good coach is that you are preventively dealing with stress, increasing motivation and preventing burnout. By talking to a coach, employees can work with the sources of stress. This ensures that they regain control of the causes.
Especially with psychological complaints, people often only raise the alarm when it is actually too late. The result? Employees drop out and sit at home for a long time. The sooner you recognize signals, the shorter the recovery process. But you would rather prevent it from coming to that.
That’s why it’s important to already pay attention to your employees’ mental health, motivators, and career needs, even if there don’t seem to be any obvious issues yet. After all, a lot can already be going on under the surface: social unrest, private circumstances, a major event or work pressure can imperceptibly affect someone’s well-being and performance. Therefore, provide an accessible way to discuss this. Someone who recognizes subtle signals before they grow into major problems, provides insight into what is going on and helps to take the right steps to prevent absenteeism or deal with situations more effectively. This way, as an employer, you prevent one of your employees from suffering from burnout or from leaving you as an employer earlier than necessary.
This is how our coaching works
We make it as easy as possible for you and your employees. Here’s how it works:
Employees choose their own coach
Via the Buddy website, employees select a coach that suits them. They can view profiles with specializations, availability, and region. This gives them control over their own development process.
Easy planning
Thanks to our simple scheduling tool, employees can schedule calls at a time that suits them. The first appointment is always online. Whether they then opt for online sessions or face-to-face meetings, everything is coordinated in consultation.
Get started right away
The first interview is an intake in which the employee’s question or needs are discussed. Together with the coach, they determine the follow-up: a short process, several sessions or a one-off conversation. This ensures customization, without unnecessary obligations.
Result-oriented
The Buddy approach combines scientifically based methodologies with a down-to-earth, practical approach. Employees not only gain insight into their situation, but also concrete tools to get started immediately, whether it concerns work-life balance, personal effectiveness or career questions.
Secure and confidential
Buddy guarantees complete confidentiality. What is discussed in the conversations remains between the employee and the coach. As an organization, you receive anonymized signals about trends and themes within your team or company, so that you gain insight into possible points of attention, without identifying individual employees.
