How Workplace Strategy Coaching Empowers Individuals and Organisations

Oct 28, 2024

If you’re an individual navigating workplace challenges or a business striving to foster an inclusive environment, Workplace Strategy Coaching offers a personalised and tailored approach for individuals to find practical solutions to challenges whilst recognising and playing to strengths. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with neurodiversity such as ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia.

Workplace challenges can manifest differently for individuals. For example, someone with ADHD might struggle with time management, whereas a person with Dyslexia could face issues with written communication. Standard workplace training programs often overlook these nuanced needs, leaving neurodivergent employees feeling unsupported.

What is Workplace Strategy Coaching?

Workplace Strategy Coaching is a personalised approach that helps employees overcome challenges, unlock their strengths, and enhance their performance. By working closely with a coach, employees develop strategies to help with:

  • Prioritisation of workload
  • Organisational skills
  • Working memory
  • Anxiety
  • Confidence building

This is especially valuable for neurodiverse individuals who often face unique hurdles in a traditional work environment. The coaching offers not just tactical solutions but also fosters a sense of psychological safety where employees can openly address workplace challenges.

At Thriiver, coaching is conducted by highly qualified coaches, certified to ILM Level 5 or above. They bring professional expertise and personal insights as self-identifying neurodivergent individuals. Beyond their general proficiency, our coaches specialise in neurodiversity holding qualifications in specific areas such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Mental Health.

What is Co-Coaching?

Alongside Workplace Strategy Coaching, Co-Coaching offers a collaborative approach that strengthens the working relationship between employees and their managers. Managers often wish to support neurodivergent employees but may lack a clear understanding of where to begin or how neurodiverse conditions affect their colleagues. Co-Coaching bridges this gap.

Co-Coaching allows managers and employees to:

  • Collaborate on solutions: It creates a safe space to explore shared challenges, such as communication barriers or environmental stressors like noise.
  • Improve communication: Open dialogue facilitated by coaching helps both managers and employees understand each other better, paving the way for improved working relationships.
  • Enhance support systems: Can help identify reasonable adjustments, such as flexible working hours or task prioritisation.

How does Workplace Strategy Coaching and Co-Coaching benefit the organisation?

The impact of coaching extends beyond the individual. It has measurable benefits for the entire organisation. By addressing the specific needs of neurodivergent employees, coaching reduces workplace stress, improves communication, and fosters stronger working relationships. This not only improves employee well-being but also benefits the company.

Here’s how organisations can benefit:

  1. Increased productivity: Employees who have the tools to navigate their challenges are more productive. They can focus on their tasks more effectively, leading to higher-quality output.
  2. Better retention: By providing a supportive work environment where employees feel understood and valued, businesses reduce turnover rates.
  3. Reduced conflict: Co-Coaching enhances communication between managers and employees, leading to fewer misunderstandings and less workplace conflict.
  4. Enhanced profitability: When employees are more efficient, happier, and collaborative, it leads to a more dynamic and innovative workplace, driving business growth and profitability.

Real-life impact: Client success stories

Feedback from those who have undergone Workplace Strategy Coaching and Co-Coaching reflects its significant impact. At Thriiver, 93% of clients reported achieving their desired learning outcomes, while 95% found the strategies provided during coaching to be extremely effective​.

Conclusion

Offering personalised strategies to address specific challenges, not only boosts individual productivity but also drives organisational success. For neurodivergent employees, coaching can mean the difference between surviving in the workplace and truly thriving.
