Coaching services to drive business success

As an L&D intervention, coaching lends itself to maximising the ideas, thoughts and talent that already exist within the organisation – whether that be a successful business owner with a rapidly growing business or a small to medium organisation planning for the next step of their business strategy

Business coaching is built on a trusting relationship between the coach and coachee to allow for exploration of solutions – using questioning techniques our coach will help to explore the blockers and enablers to taking the next steps towards business success.

Coaching is a powerful way to develop people, strengthen teams, and unlock potential within your business. Whether it’s 1:1 coaching for leaders or team members, our approach helps individuals gain clarity, overcome challenges, and build confidence.

Through a supportive and trusted coaching relationship, we explore barriers and opportunities, helping individuals take meaningful steps forward. By maximising existing skills and talent, coaching fosters growth, resilience, and stronger team dynamics – ultimately driving business success.

Why Coaching?

Historically, coaching may have been viewed as accessible to only the most senior people but its value is now recognised at every level, both individual and teams.

Coaching drives engagement and empowerment through exploration of personal thoughts and values so enables you to leverage the full range of expertise, experience and ideas available to you.

 

How can Coaching support your business?

Coaching can support at every stage of your business journey, whether addressing a specific challenge or navigating change and growth. It can enhance the ROI on other development initiatives such as training or professional study, and is equally effective for both individuals and teams.

> Leadership Coaching – As businesses grow, leadership teams often evolve organically, requiring time to reflect and realign. Executive coaching offers a confidential space for leaders to explore challenges, overcome barriers, and gain fresh perspectives – fostering creativity, problem-solving, and confidence in decision-making

> Team Coaching – Using psychometric tools like Insights Discovery, team coaching supports collaboration at any stage of development, whether integrating new hires, strengthening an established team, or improving communication, coaching helps harness individual strengths and create a cohesive, high-performing team

> Developing Leadership & Management Skills – many successful businesses are built on technical expertise, but growth often demands new skills like leadership, people management, and change management. Coaching helps leaders and managers create a clear development plan, reinforcing learning from leadership training. Research shows that coaching can enhance ROI from training by up to 70%, ensuring new skills are applied effectively in the workplace

> Improving Productivity & Performance – Coaching provides a safe environment to uncover the root causes of performance challenges, rather than just addressing surface level issues. By exploring underlying barriers, coaching helps individuals find sustainable solutions that drive long-term success

> Bespoke coaching solutions – Every business and individual is unique, which is why we believe that coaching should never be a one size fits all solution.We take the time to listen and understand the specific challenges and opportunities within your business. Based on this, we tailor a customised approach, often combining 1:1 coaching sessions to address individual needs with team coaching to enhance collaboration and performance

 

Benefits of coaching

The personalised approach of coaching helps you unlock the full potential of your people and your business. With coaching, you can expect to see:

> Improved leadership skills – Strong leadership drives engagement, attracts top talent, and boosts retention. Effective leaders can also increase productivity by up to 25%, creating a more motivated and efficient workforce.

> Enhanced Team Collaboration – Coaching fosters better communication and collaboration within teams, leading to more informed decision-making and improved efficiency

> Increased Confidence for Change – Coaching empowers individuals to take creative risks, driving innovation and positive change across the business

> Engaged and Empowered Workforce – Coaching supports a culture where people feel valued and motivated, leading to greater engagement and performance

> Transparent Culture – By encouraging open communication and trust, coaching helps build a culture of transparency, where ideas and feedback are freely shared

 

Our coaching approach

We are proud of our business focussed approach to learning initiatives and in particular, the level of trust which we quickly build with clients and coachees

It is the level of trust which creates the safe space to quickly gain a good understanding of areas for exploration, potential blockers and the existing strengths to utilise to move forward

A typical approach would be:

> Initial discussion – We start by understanding the issue or business situation that needs addressing

> Agree on the coaching programme – We collaborate to decide whether Executive Coaching or Team Coaching is the most suitable approach

> 1:1 coaching setup – For individual coaching, we schedule a meeting with the coachee, their manager, and the coach to establish guidelines around confidentiality and agree on the communication process going forward

> Team coaching setup – For team coaching, we agree on the overall approach and determine whether a psychometric tool, such as Insights Discovery, will be incorporated

> Running the programme – Typically 1-1 sessions will initially be across 4 sessions to allow full exploration end ensure that not just surface issues are addressed

Really good workshop in a relaxed setting, making everyone approachable and at ease to ask any questions needed. A good pace to the topics and so much experience shown from Emma and Fran, would definitely recommend others wanting to understand HR responsibilities and processes better.

I've been working with HR Initiatives Ltd for nearly 8 years now and have always had a fabulous service. The team have been supportive with helping us to use effective records management software for employees, provide a comprehensive staff handbook that they always happy to tailor to my organisation's needs, and help review policies. Above all, their response times to ad hoc queries and support is excellent. They're always on hand to help me with my HR challenges and support me through tricky processes. Highly recommend.

We first worked with HR Initiatives a few years ago, when our small non-profit was new and we needed help to develop the way we supported our employees through one:ones and annual reviews. HRi’s training and documentation was brilliant and we have implemented a system that works really well for us as a result.We subscribed to HR Initiatives’ service earlier this year too. Our team is growing along with the business, and we could see we needed more proactive support for the line managers in our team in looking after and getting the best out of our employees. We have worked closely with the HRi Team recently on a project that was quite difficult at times and they provided incredible support and excellent advice throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Emma Williams, from HR Initiatives, gave outstanding and useful advice at a business workshop I was facilitating. Her advice helped each of the businesses in different ways - from one which was recruiting, one with IR35 questions and another to furlough & redundancy cost/compliance. All were answered professionally, with absolute surety and in a way which was understandable and immediately applicable. Thank you for your help on behalf of all of the businesses involved.

We have built a fantastic relationship with the team at HRI over the many years of working together.They respond to queries in an efficient and timely manner. No query is too big or too small and they have a friendly and relaxed approach yet maintaining professional standards at all times.Penny is fantastic at responding as quickly as possible, especially if she is aware there is a time constraint around any given situation and always try’s to make herself available.

I was introduced to HR Initiatives 8 years ago and they revolutionised my business by being able to have a fully functioning HR department for a fraction of the costs of solicitors or employing someone full time.Emma and all her team are knowledgeable, pragmatic and professional. They have guided us through a few uncomfortable issues and I cant praise them enough.
