the program The complete learning journey is approximately 7 months in duration.

Pre-work: a 360-degree feedback process is part of the preparation of this program. This process is aimed at obtaining insight into leadership styles of the participant, the organizational climate that he/she creates, as well as on the Randstad Group competencies. The results of the feedback will be discussed in a personal feedback session with a certified facilitator. A coaching behavior self-assessment sets a baseline for the work to be undertaken in the in-person session.

The developing & coaching people learning journey will be offered as a 7-month experiential learning journey, where a majority of the time will be spent on “doing”. With feedback & coaching being 1 of the key global HR themes, this learning journey is created to teach our colleagues to use tools and techniques to increase their competence and confidence in coaching & giving real-time feedback to create a human forward environment. In order to drive superior performance and accountability, focused on achieving excellent business results.

Ongoing coaching & great conversations will help our employees to stretch, learn, and grow to reach their full potential. With the support of diverse webinars and workshops, the participants will have the opportunity to apply the coaching skills into practice under the guidance of PHI learning, in which the participants will need to take an active role in coaching sessions, coaching calls, and peer group hangouts. Topics include:
  • Setting goals to overcome the challenges of coaching
