Inspire leaders to effectively support their teams through times of change and transition with our leadership coaching programme.

Here’s why leadership coaching matters

Research shows that employees who feel a sense of belonging are 5.3x more likely to feel empowered to perform at their best.

Employees who feel that their voice is heard are 4.6x more likely to say it positively affects their work.

Employees who say their company provides equal opportunities are nearly four times (3.8x) more likely to say they are proud to work for their company.

What does leadership coaching for family-friendly leadership look like?

Inclusive, family-friendly leadership coaching equips leaders with the skills and knowledge to create a work environment that respects and accommodates the needs of all employees, including those with family responsibilities.

This type of leadership coaching emphasises the need to support work-life balance, parental transition, carers, menopause, midlife health, ageism and flexible working arrangements. It encourages managers to lead with empathy, recognising the diverse needs of their team members and fostering an atmosphere where everyone feels valued and supported.

Crucially, this coaching is designed to be accessible on demand, allowing managers to seek guidance and support as they navigate the challenges of supporting their employees in real-time. By focusing on inclusivity and family-friendly practices, and offering support when managers need it most, the coaching helps to better engage teams, enhance employee satisfaction, and promote a culture of respect and belonging.

This approach not only benefits employees but also strengthens the organisation by creating a more supportive, productive, and loyal workforce.

Why is family-friendly leadership coaching important for your business?

Investing in the growth of leadership capability plays a pivotal role in building and sustaining an inclusive culture within an organisation.
