Training Transfer: The use of coaching to integrate new skills - The article highlights the importance of coaching post and pre-training to ensure that the training transfer is effective. The training aims to enhance the participants' KSA, the degree to which they can effectively apply that new learning to their work practice. The intention is that the higher the level of training transfer, the more significant the improvement in job performance. This is where coaching comes into play, as it focuses on raising self-awareness and self-responsibility through the development of individual objectives and personalized goal setting. It provides the opportunity to practice and reflect on the new skills alongside receiving feedback. As per the article, training alone improved productivity by 22% but increased productivity by a huge 88% when coaching was added. Therefore, in future, if I have to design a training program, I would include pre and post-coaching sessions with the training program, which would complement the regular training. When coaching is implemented on an organizational level, the benefits are indeed profound, it not only empowers individuals, increases employee engagement and improves individual performance and employee commitment but also gives an employee meaning in their work, a sense of purpose, belonging, satisfaction, and an intention to stay all improve. It is beneficial on both personal and professional levels in an organization.
