title: Coaching the new central service employee to success.
abstract: Many benefits can be reaped by the central service department that provides an effective coaching program for new employees. A smooth transition into the department will increase new employee satisfaction and, in the long term, should have a positive impact on employee retention. In addition, well-trained employees project a positive image of your department and increase department productivity. Experienced central service personnel possess extensive knowledge and skill and when they coach, they are excellent resources for new employees. An additional benefit is that coaches experience greater job satisfaction and feel like a valuable part of the team. By utilizing the coaching process, coaches can ensure that new employees become effectively oriented to central service and satisfied, productive members of your department.
