What Coaching Software Features Do You Need?

Coaching programs are beneficial to an organization when they are planned, implemented, and managed correctly. As we’ve said when talking about any of our career development programs, planning is always the first step and when making your plan, you should always consider what technology can do. Implementing a coaching program is no exception to this rule.

Coaching software can help you manage the success of your program, while also providing individual benefits for your coaches and coachees. At Insala, our comprehensive coaching software solutions are designed to enable program administrators to proficiently manage and track any number of coaching programs, allow internal and external coaches to participate and follow an approved process, provide coachees the tools they need to succeed in the program, and enable the organization to track and report on the original goals agreed upon for the coaching initiative.

But these aren’t the only benefits that are seen when you use coaching software. Here are a few more…
