A closer look at how we helped
Dorset County Council (DCC) faced the challenge of austerity measures leading to a restructure. This required a change in their traditional work culture and management systems. To address this, DCC decided to foster an online coaching culture using Mye-coach, which led to a change in their management style and way of working.

The mye-coach helps DCC refine their coaching practice
The mye-coach helped DCC track the number of relationships that are in place at any one time. They were able to run reports; see how many coaching relationships they had at any one time; how many hours were being spent on coaching; log coaching interactions, as well as provide a forum for open discussion.
