Helping Employed Clients
Helping Employed Clients REACH
the REACH Program
“Once a client secures employment, career practitioners can still play an active and important role in their professional development. During the first 90 days and beyond, practitioners can support clients as they manage their self-care, learn new skills, build internal and external networks, and seek ongoing advancement in the professional world.”
My article “Helping Clients Navigate Their First 90 Days on the Job (and Beyond)” addresses the challenges that new employees may encounter as they step into a new role, whether it’s a promotion or a job in another organization.
These are some of the key points:
The initial months on a job can predict whether employees stay or leave and how successful they will be. The first three months of employment determine one’s achievements, contributions, and tenure during the quarterly period companies often use to track performance (Lindquist, 2021). Additionally, 20% of resignations happen in the first 45 days, and 30% take place within 90 days (Drake, 2019). The accelerated pace of the current workplace, where employees are expected to “hit the ground running,” makes the first three months of employment even more important.
Some common challenges that practitioners can help clients address when starting a new job include: dealing with anxiety, information overload, fear of speaking up, supervision, leadership and their own continuous professional development.
Once clients address their workplace challenges, a career coach can help them implement changes.
I have developed a five-step process called REACH to help clients develop: their leadership qualities, confidence building, and empowered decision-making. REACH, is a results-driven 1:1 career coaching program aimed to elevate professional performance and engagement in the initial 90 days of employment, and beyond.
