There are various reasons for providing an employee the opportunity of career coaching. Sometimes there has been a change in the employee/employer contract as to new expectations. As more companies move to empower their employees to take personal ownership for their careers, use of an external coach becomes important. Often reorganizations result in employees being asked to assume new roles with little guidance from senior management. Another challenge faced by many people today is the tug of dual career families and life/work balance and how this impacts their job performance.

Career coaching can provide career development, job enhancement, pre-retirement guidance, pre-promotion development, and direction in the case of career derailment or strengthening strategic leadership skills.
