We are delighted to confirm that the BetterUp Virtual Coaching Platform will be available from 4^th April 2023.

A quick reminder

• We have a new Virtual Coaching Platform (through BetterUp) for non GLT (link is sent directly to coachees)

What coaching is available on the BetterUp Virtual Coaching Platform?

• A 6 month coaching journey (which may or may not include a 360 debrief)
• 360 debriefing and development action planning support (over a 2 month period)

Where can I find more information?

• For HR, all documents are available in the HR Community Documents Folder (02 – Talent Management | 15 – Coaching)
• The Coaching Policy is available to all employees on MyIpsen (My HR Corner | Learn & Grow Page)

What do I need to do to launch a coaching journey for an employee?

If it is agreed that coaching is beneficial to support a development need:

• Obtain the relevant business/HR approval (see policy)
• Check with your divisional nominated HR contact that there is a licence available
• Ensure the coachee and coachees manager understands the coaching process and are committed to it
• If coaching is to be accompanied by a 360°, complete the booking form and once confirmed by Abbie or Chantelle, forward the participant guide to the employee
• Follow the coaching journey or 360 debrief with the coachee and their manager (ensuring development actions are captured in the development plan in iPeople)
• Monitor the impact of coaching

Best regards
