Job Coaching involves imparting training to the employees of an organization that will help them to perform according to the expectations of the employer. It develops interpersonal skills and arranges for job-site training. Job coaching includes job development, counseling and travel training. Job coaches make an employee capable of dealing with all the specifications of the job and vastly improve his performance. An employee directly comes in contact with the coach to overcome his shortcomings. He learns time and attendance rules and work-related behaviors. The employee is able to receive feedback regarding his vocational and personal strength. His progress is observed by the employer as well.
