Coaching That Creates Ripples: HR Strategies with Ulliance EAP

Companies often focus on big organizational levers and miss the smaller ones that truly impact employee experience. Coaching is one of those levers. While it may look small on a spreadsheet, it can transform daily interactions and improve workplace culture.

This isn’t limited to executive coaching. Peer circles, mentoring, and targeted coaching for high-impact roles nudge conversations in a better direction. People listen more carefully, feedback becomes clearer, and teams practice habits that make progress visible.

Recent research on the “coaching ripple effect” supports what many HR leaders see: 91% of employees notice positive changes after their manager receives coaching, with stronger effects when coaching continues for seven months or more.

For HR professionals, the goal is to design coaching programs that extend beyond individual managers, reinforce the right behaviors, and create lasting change across teams. Ulliance EAP programs can help provide the structure and support needed to make this happen.
