Hello Everyone,

Employee development is essential to the growth and success of any business. Happy employees are productive employees and they want to feel like their company is investing in them. The four broad categories of employee development are interpersonal relationships, formal education, job experiences, and assessment. Combining these approaches assist with providing better employee development.

The basic options that are available for an organization to use work experience as a method of employee development are conflict resolution, data analysis, and customer service. These particular job experiences may occur when forming a team and when employees switch roles within a team, Noe 2016. Job experiences are also used for employee development in such fashions as job rotation, promotion, transfer, downward move, and temporary assignment to another organization.

A coach is someone that is seen as a peer or manager that motivates an employee to develop their skills and provide feedback and reassurance. The three roles of a coach are to work one-on-one with an employee, assist the employee with learning for themselves and provide resources such as courses, mentors, or job experiences. Coaching and mentoring have some similarities, but also have some differences as well. Coaches are usually needed for a short period of time and only until the goal or objective is obtained. A mentor is needed for a longer period of time and helps you develop goals and reach future goals. Also, mentors tend to have experience in the area that they are guiding the individual in. An advantage of using a coach within an organization is that they may have a better approach to the employee and they may have more experience in the area they are coaching. A disadvantage of utilizing a coach outside the organization is that there will be an additional cost involved and the coach may not be free when needed.
