How to Measure the Impact of Executive Coaching: Set Defined Goals
Executive coaching delivers high returns only when engagements begin with clearly defined, business‑aligned goals. Studies show a Fortune 500 firm realized a 529% ROI, rising to 788% when retention gains are included, but such outcomes require structured, goal‑driven measurement.

By co‑creating specific, time‑bound objectives, HR can turn coaching from a vague development activity into a defensible performance strategy.
