Evaluation

It is important that the benefits of coaching relationships are measured. This lets us evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, identify organisational learning and assure the quality of the coaching.

Individual coaching relationships will be evaluated at two stages:

• at the end of the relationship an evaluation form will be shared with both the coach and coachee
• six months after the end of the relationship an evaluation form will be shared with the coachee

The purpose of the evaluation is to ensure the relationships are forming well and that they are proving to be purposeful and successful.

In respect of the confidential nature of the scheme neither coach nor coachee will be expected to impart detailed information about the content of their relationship. We do require both parties to give an overview of the main objectives, achievements and purpose of the relationship so that we can show the business benefits of the scheme.

If you want to provide any feedback about the coaching scheme or your coaching relationship ahead of receiving the coaching evaluation form, please contact coaching@york.ac.uk.

Alongside this, we also encourage coach and coachee to review how the coaching journey is working throughout the coaching journey, with a focus on what is working well and any adjustments needed to how both are approaching sessions.
