WHY
Why Coaching?
Leadership impact on employee engagement and overall firm performance is well documented. Clearly it matters. In today’s economy, retaining your best and brightest can be a challenging task. Recent studies suggest the percentage of high potentials planning to leave their positions has doubled in the past few years. Direct cost-only calculations dramatically underestimates the total financial impact of “derailment.” Co-worker productivity loss, search fees, bonuses, relocation, and retraining costs can easily add up to over 240% of annual salaries. Maybe a better way to answer the question is ask yourself, "what is the cost of not investing?"  

The math is simple. The positive impact from Polaris' proven program far exceeds any cost. Talent Managers recognize the high value ROI of executive coaching, making it your most effective weapon to combat the war for talent
