Background and Objectives of the Coaching App

The Mercuri Coaching App is one of the most state-of-the-art Applications on the market assisting in growing people to their full potential. This App is applicable to people who are coached by someone else in the workplace, irrespective of the job role/ function.

Multiple beneficiaries of the Coaching App:
1. The learner/ coachee:
It was intended that the primary beneficiaries of the Coaching App would be those who are working at improving their competencies (the learners). In a work context the expectations are that the work output would increase as the learners are able to display higher levels of competence.

2. For the Business Coach:
It is a business coach’s dream to plan-, record- and track growth as well as development actions of individuals and teams. Reminders are sent, and various reports are available.

3. For the Learning and Development function:
Tracking growth of applied competence in the work place on an ongoing basis updates future development actions and individual career options.
Costing of improvement in applied skills can be done while providing a factual basis for budgeting for development.

4. For the Line Manager:
The line manager has clarity of what is required in terms of competence and can manage the growth of the team. It also assists the Line Manager in making employee decisions related to outputs achieved based on competencies required.

5. For the Financial Decision Maker:
A tool that provides clarity and objectivity in terms of what development is required. Return on the investment can be determined by tracking growth in competence.
