Targeted Coaching for Performance Improvement: A Structured Approach
Go Back

SESSION INFO

Monday, February 6, 2023
10:15 AM - 11:15 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Community supervision is a high stakes business. Poor performance and mistakes at the field officer level can have serious and long-term consequences for our communities and our clients. Additionally, staff turnover has many negative impacts on our agencies. Cost to train/cost to replace can be significant and other officers are left to pick up the caseloads as vacancies are filled. This session will review the coaching model developed by the Nebraska Board of Parole – Division of Parole Supervision (DPS) to identify performance issues and their underlying causes and develop individualized coaching plans to improve performance and increase employee engagement. Also included in this session will be discussion of the communication plan between coach, officer, and supervisor and the process for transitioning out of coaching.
