The Problem
The Solution
Developing your employees is not just a good idea but it is imperative, and here is why; Because
employees are THE MOST IMPORTANT and valuable asset in any organization. The better your
people perform, the better your organization performs.
Coaching and mentoring are often viewed as remedial tools to correct poor performance. If
used effectively, they can create high-performance cultures and teams; rather than just manage
the low-performance ones. Coaching and mentoring may understandably be perceived as one
and the same or similar, but in fact they are not. Both play different roles and produce different
results.
Coaching
Coaching is all about having “meaningful conversations”. It is to help others develop and
improve their performance and achieve their full potential. Managers and leaders should not
underestimate the power of coaching as it creates a fundamental shift in the employees’
mindset and approach to work. This results in employees being more assertive, resilient and
productive. For organizations, this means increased productivity, profitability, customer
satisfaction and the bottom line, which always matters.
Think Talent Solutions offers personalized, one-on-one and group high-quality coaching to
every level of your organization - Executives, Managers and Employees; as well as to individuals
whether in employment or seeking employment; on both personal and professional
development, and much more. The level of coaching needed will depend on the level of your
mastery and the amount of support you require to achieve your goals. A future-focused
development approach is used as it allows us to engage fully with the recipients to provide
invaluable space for personal development. It also empowers the recipients to take
responsibility for their decisions and choices as we offer further guidance and leads to various
opportunities available in line with desires and aspirations of the recipients.
Mentoring
As we know it, the mentor-mentee relationship is one where an older, wiser person takes
someone under their wing and teaches them everything they need to know. This may range
from personal to professional skills and may include practical knowledge, tricks of the trade, the
dos and don’ts, and a lot more. Mentoring is a more long-term relationship in which the
mentor has seniority over the mentee and is driven by the mentee who aspires to be like the
mentor someday. Over the years, the successful organizations have proven to be those who
have used mentoring as a tool for succession planning. This is because, the best successions are
those that end with a clean and certain break; and which can only happen if new drivers are
given the steering wheel as the older ones jump off the bus.
Think Talent Solutions provides guidance on how to develop and implement in-house
mentorship programs to support professional development, upgrade employee skills and
enhance employee satisfaction at work. We also offer guidance on how to use mentorship
programs to preserve institutional memory and prepare for succession planning. For continuity,
we also provide training on developing effective mentors within the organizations.
