How to assign a group coaching session 🧑💻
Action Plans in 15Five are strategic plans that HR teams use to organize and measure the work you're doing to improve HR outcomes (employee performance, engagement, and/or retention) in your organization. Each Action Plan comprises a set of actions: tasks that contribute to the plan's progress and success over time. In this section, we'll walk through how to assign group coaching sessions as part of an Action Plan.
Note
Before following the steps below, follow the steps to create an Action Plan.
- Click on Outcomes Dashboard in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation.
- Next, open the "Action Plans" tab and click on the name of the Action Plan you want to add coaching to.
- Click the Add Actions button.
- The "Add action to action plan" form will appear on the left-hand side of your screen. From here, select "Schedule Group Coaching Session" as the action type.
- On the next screen, you'll see "Schedule a 1-on-1 Coaching Session" as the action title. This field isn't editable.
- Then select a focus area for the coaching session. These focus areas are based on 15Five's Manager Competencies.
- We recommend using this field to let managers know why they were selected for coaching and what success looks like.
- Select a designated scheduler for the coaching session. This is the individual who will be responsible for scheduling the session.
- Select the start date on which the action should appear on the Action owner's homepages and the due date by which the Action owner should schedule their coaching session.
- Now it's time to select up to 10 individuals you want to participate in group coaching.
- Click Next: Preview to open the action summary. Review the information contained in the summary to ensure that the action is configured correctly.
