Many organizations have come to realize the value of coaching for their employees, with US$15B invested in coaching/year in the USA alone in 2020. However, a recent Randstad study found that 50% of companies rely on direct managers to coach their employees and that the #1 reason for employees not availing of the opportunity is not being comfortable sharing openly with a coach or mentor who works where they do. The Hive Professional Network aims to address this issue by providing a platform that matches employees with external coaches based on their individual profiles, and also provides organizations with Strategic Diversity Analytics to identify and overcome strategic vulnerabilities and maximize employee performance and productivity.
