Welcome to the March 2011 issue of the newsletterIn this issue, we feature more highlights from the March/April issue of Coaching at Work including ‘Moral support‘ which looks at how coaching can help reset organisations´ and individuals´ moral compasses. Against the backdrop of the banking crisis and the imminent UK Bribery Act, the spotlight is on compliance but coaching offers the chance to go deeper and transform mindsets. Coaching at Work will be at the EMCC UK´s conference on 29-30 March, the CIPD´s HRD event on 6-7 April and the UKICF´s event on the art of mastery in coaching on 9 April, all in London (see Diary dates).

Stop PressStress is number one employer health concernStress tops the list of employer health concerns for the second year running but UK employers are less likely than others to have a wellness strategy, says a global survey by Buck Consultants. Personal health coaching is offered by 18 per cent of employers. The most common tools currently used as part of employer health programmes include discounted gym membership (68 per cent), flexible working and parental support (60 per cent). Seventy two per cent of UK respondents to the survey of 1200 organisations said they were very concerned about stress in their workforce, beating lack of exercise (60 per cent) and nutrition (58 per cent). UK employers lag behind their counterparts elsewhere in tackling health issues- 57 per cent have a wellness strategy in place, compared to an international average of 66 per cent. The US was the most health-conscious of the 47 countries studied, with 74 per cent of employers having a wellness programme. Managers fail to motivate staffMore than a quarter of British employees do not respect their manager while almost half are not motivated by them, a survey by People 1st Training Company has revealed. Nearly half of employees reported that their manager did not help to develop their career, while 30 per cent said that their manager failed to provide constructive criticism, says the survey of 2,000 adults in the UK by People 1st, part of the sector skills council for the hospitality, leisure and tourism industry. Overall, however, nearly three-quarters (73 per cent) of employees reported that their manager recognised their contribution at work. |
