This is your HR News Flash, your briefing on talent management and the world of work from HRCI.   Coaching conversations empower managers to help employees achieve their full potential. Unlike traditional performance management, performance coaching is a more collaborative process. Here is how you can implement coaching in the workplace. Identify new leadership competencies. It is important to identify and develop the leadership skills that empower a coaching mindset. These skills  include being a good listener and thinking holistically. As you continue to develop your hybrid work environment, make these selection criteria part of the hiring process. Facilitate employee self-awareness. Management coaching should empower employees to think independently. Fostering self-awareness is the most effective way to build this type of thinking and results in a better overall performance. HR can train managers to build a learning mindset through ongoing performance conversations. Implement coaching policies and procedures. It is best to switch to a coaching culture using integrated policies and procedures. Take a holistic approach to changing culture. Identify the behaviors you want to see from managers, build them into their performance assessment infrastructure and reward those behaviors. Also, as a reminder, we are now celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month until October 15th. The theme of this year is “Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope”. We hope that you can contribute by celebrating Hispanic history and culture in your workplace. This concludes your HR News Flash. HRCI prepares HR leaders for the digital age. Thanks for listening.
