Conversely, when employee wellness is prioritized, Gallup found that employees are three times more likely to be engaged at work, over 70% less likely to experience burnout, and 69% less likely to look for a new job. Organizations have also seen increases in productivity (66%) and employee satisfaction (67%)—both result in many benefits for your organization. In a rapidly moving public safety environment first responders can’t risk preparation and a mindset for success.
That’s what motivated us to develop our Great to MAGNUS Coach Certification for First Responders and Public Safety.
Between 2020 and 2022, engagement dropped four percent.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise as people were still feeling the after-effects of COVID-related personal illnesses, family adjustments, layoffs, and more. Factor in the Great Resignation and the Quiet Quitting across public safety in the past few years, and those remaining are still feeling overworked and ultimately underappreciated. This, of course, all takes a toll on emotional fitness, mental health, and by extension, the effort that is put into the workplace.
Fortunately, there is a bright side. We’re starting to see a growing trend that should give every organization struggling with officer or employee engagement, and performance new hope: organizations that put well-being first are getting more from their departments across both industry and public safety.
Those who apply coaching support for these well-being approaches maximize their investments with faster benefits through engagement.
Here’s why coaching maximizes engagement for performance.
Today’s employees expect to take an active role in their own development. They want to synthesize career and personal development paths and help set their own goals. To do this, they need tools, processes, and an enabling infrastructure that can help them to be active participants in their own performance management program. Beyond performance enablement – they need human-centered approaches to being empowered stakeholders in their future.
Coaching provides the processes and practices to maximize engagement with all training, development and well-being initiatives – the result is MAGNUS performance.
That’s why we’re excited to invite everyone across public safety to become certified as an ICF coach through the National Command and Staff College in collaboration with the NTOA. Click to register and lead the way in your organization.
