HR Survey 2002 - LEE HECHT HARRISON

Surveyed 488 Human Resource professionals to learn how coaching is being used in their organisations.

Companies are increasingly turning to coaching for leadership development, style issues and talent retention, so it makes sense that 55% of respondents said that their organisation uses coaching as a one-on-one process intended to maximize management and leadership potential and 54% do so to change behaviours.

A surprising number of respondents indicated that their organisation uses coaching for personal/psychological counselling (36%), advice on appearance or attire (13%) or preparation for a major speech or presentation (11%).
