Coaching and Mentoring

ICAS has been in the business of supporting organisations and their employees since 1987, and have a formidable international reputation in the world of workplace psychology. As part of our portfolio we have provided coaching to our EAP clients for many years, and now offer a wide range of coaching associated services.

  • Executive Coaching Services. In a busy and stretching work environment it is sometimes difficult to find time for reflection and personal development. However it is particularly important that the senior players in any business do so, if they are to develop new and even more effective ways of managing, themselves, the business and people. It is therefore becoming increasingly common practice to provide directors and senior managers with a business coach.
  • Specialist Coaching Services.
    • Maternity Returners. Many organisations these days are experiencing the difficulty of retaining highly skilled and experienced staff who take maternity leave, but who decide not to return or who do so only for a short time. ICAS provide a specialist service specifically to support the coachee to pro-actively manage their return to work and in doing so increase their capability to do so effectively.
    • Career "Turning Points". There are a variety of key decision points in any individual's career, for which an organisation might wish to offer coaching support. For example, moving onto the Board, cross-discipline promotion/transfer, returning to work after a long absence or from an overseas secondment, retirement or redundancy.

      With the current proposals to allow fathers to qualify for the second six months of their partner's maternity leave, some organisations are already considering the consequences for their paternity returners.

      Our career "turning points" coaching service would also be useful in this new context.
  • Psychological Coaching - while our coaches work within a psychology framework, there are sometimes situations, the "flashpoints" of organisation/human interaction, where a therapeutic approach is required. In such cases ICAS provides a safe pair of hands for both parties.
  • Senior Executive/Board Room Coaching - who challenges the Senior Team? Our highly experienced, professional and confidential business coaches provide constructive feedback, challenge and personal development for senior team members.

We focus on maintaining employee commitment and motivation, reducing risks such as absence and conflict, improving managerial skills and providing psychological and practical support to those most affected.
