LITERATURE REVIEW
Understanding the importance of coaching within an organisation
As per the view point of authors, Abdollahbeigi and Jayashree 2017, Talent management
is a vital part of organisation in building and organising the workforce towards the goals of
company, as employees are the integral and essential force of organisation. They must be well
retained and trained to accomplish the targets. Understanding the concept of talent management
provide assistance in revealing the outcome of company as what the employees desired from the
organisation and how organisation work in order stand to fulfil their expectation. Employees
wants future security, growth of skills and knowledge which will make them strong into large
market and capable from others. Verdant leisure must fulfilled these requirement by evaluating
the significance of managing talent into long motive vision.
it can be said that making employees learn is highly important for managerial team to
train and support the employees within organisation. This will result in finding the employees

who possess high competencies and can result in their better appraisal. When employees are
trained with the required knowledge it will enhance the productivity of organisation and generate
high revenues and gains. It will motivate the esteem of employees to work in accordance with
standards which will create a good brand name of Verdant Leisure. It should be a continuing
process so that regular updates in work process can be managed(Akunda, Chen and Gikiri,
2018). At times even after recruiting knowledgeable and talented employees, a need of coaching
and mentoring is required. It can help in eliminating wastages thus reducing cost of operations.
This can make them handy with operations of respective organisation. Also the standards which
are required to be attained by Verdant Leisure can be explained well. When employees are
provided proper learning and knowledge, employee turnover ratio will be reduced as employees
posses required competencies to work in organisation, which reduces the chances of their being
thrown out. It will also boost morale of working force making them satisfied in existing work
culture.
As per the view points of authors, Cappelli and Keller 2017, it can be seen that
employees are highly persuaded from peers or colleagues and to reduce this proper mentoring
process is required to be planned. This will reduce the conflicts and mismanagement which takes
place at frequent basis in respective organisation. When employees are provided coaching for the
respective task it will clear the job description in minds of work force so that efficiency is
achieved. The leaders can emphasise on employees by giving proper guidance and support so
that positive impacts are prevalent. This will also result in professional as well as personal
development of an individual employed to work in an organisation. It is seen that when
employees are coached, leader is looked as an influencer and complexities of operations can be
worked out more easily. The employees attain a deeper level of knowledge about a particular
topic which ever they are performing and may lead in building good terms with work.
To evaluate ways of relationship building within Verdant Leisure
As per the view point of authors, Mathafena and Ras (2017), it can be said that when
employers timely approach the work force and coach them on regular basis as per the project
requirements it will benefit both parties. The cordial relations among the work force can be
achieved and continued for a long time when trust, respect, confidence, and good communication
is built. There are numerous ways which can help in building good terms among the managerial
team and employees in respective organisation. Along with coaching and mentoring the

employees, an organisation can enhance relationships by making employees know their worth
and inspiring them to rectify their short comings. When leaders influence their subordinates,
employees can easily get motivated and work with efficiency. When managers and leaders are
easily approachable, work force can approach and easily share their issues and concerns with
them. When employees face problems and those problems are resolved, it will bring connectivity
among the levels of management which will result in building good relations. They can be
promoted and awarded for their performances. Monetary as well as non monetary rewards can be
given to employees on the basis of their competencies and efforts that they show in operations of
organisation. When healthy work life is managed employees will be more interested in working
in a team, it will lead in making good relations(Campion, Campion, and Campion, 2018). When
employees are capable of working for any and every task, their work pressure will be reduced
and they can attain good relations with other employees. At times organisations face a lot of
hurdles while building relations with employees. When several employees are appraised based
on their competencies, other employees feel demotivated. When problems are told to managerial
team but they are not able to resolve them, employees lack morale and further trust is disrupted.
When strengths and weaknesses of employees are not determined appropriately and appraisal is
delayed, it will affect the mental health of work force(Miiro, Othman, Nordinc and Ibrahim,
2016). There are many a times when there arises a difference in perception of both parties,
namely employees and employer. This arises mutual misunderstanding which gives rise to
conflicts among the organisation. For this managerial team of Verdant Leisure should be well
efficient so that the measures which are taken in favour of work force are benefiting them
instead of creating more problematic situations.
According to the view points of Ingram and Glod (2016) it can be said that to maintain
good relations with employees, work pressure should be reduced and for that it is highly required
to make the whole working staff well equipped with technical know how. Many a times issues
arises when managerial team is willing to follow this way but lacks when employees are unable
to implement those policies among themselves and lack behind(Muriithi and Makau, 2017). This
reduces the self esteem of employees.
To determine various benefits of good training in a company.
According to the view point of authors Borisova, Silayeva and Sokolova (2017) it can be said
that when employees are provided good tarining and are timely, mentored by providing proper

training and guidance, their self esteem is enhanced. These will result in gains to both
organisations as well as the working class, in form of personal development and professional
development also. This can result in attaining the goals which are determined by the managerial
team of Verdant Leisure within set time. This can help effectively in increasing the market share
and expanding the reach of market in other than domestic boundaries. This is a result that
Verdant Leisure is working in large market having its reach to international markets as well along
with the domestic markets. Providing good training will result in utilising effective workforce for
companies favour. It will make the full usage of employee’s potential and they will be giving
their best in the operation performed. This will also lead in bringing improvement in employee’s
knowledge which will increase the name and goodwill of organisation in market. Any sense of
misunderstanding in minds of work force can be resolved when they are provided learning
regarding a specific topic. This will automatically decrease the cost of production and result in
high revenue generation which will expand the market share of organisation. When employees
are coached and mentored about a particular topic it will enhance the productivity and learning
of employees. This will increase the motivation in employees to work with full esteem and adopt
the most creative and innovative way to perform a particular task. It will make the employees
aware towards their personal well being and of organisation as well. training and mentoring will
make employees generate a profit motive towards the work which is to be performed and they
will support their colleagues and subordinates properly to achieve a common task. The threats
will be diminished and will support development of whole team. A sense of positivity and
optimism is created in working environment which will increase the working spirit of employees.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is defines as a process which is used to conduct research which
includes identification, selection and analysation of data collected from different sources(Deif
and Van Beek, 2019). It needs to decide how the data will be collected and generated and what
will be the procedure to analyse the same. The research methods can be classified in two types
that are qualitative as well as quantitative. Quantitative research provides information in
numericals and not require so much sources to conduct the research. Whereas Qualitative
provides for quality data and is too time consuming.

Type of Study: This research involves quantitative method because it is less time
consuming then qualitative methods of research. Qualitative method focuses on quality of data
irrespective of size to be analyzed.
Data sources: There are two ways to collect data in order to conduct a research which
are primary sources and secondary sources of data. Primary source of data provides raw and
fresh data about the topic whereas secondary source of data involves use, analyse and processing
of already collected data of another researcher. In order to collect information regarding current
topic of Talent management at workplace, both primary and secondary information is used.
Sampling: There are two types of techniques used in process of sampling that are
Probability and non probability sampling. Probability type of sampling is used in this project as it
helps to select large portion and provide unbiased results. 50 employees of Verdant Leisure are
selected for the purpose of this research. This sample is selected on random basis which helps in
getting unbiased data for the purpose of this research. They are asked either they wants to be a
part of this research or not(Gajda, 2017).
Data Collection Tools: There are various tools for data collection like interviews,
questionnaire, observation and focus study and many more. In order to gather information about
talent management at Verdant Leisure a questionnaire is used. This provides for reliable data to
the researcher and helps them to conduct this research in efficient manner. Questionnaire is send
to all the employees which are selected in sample and ask them to fill it with best of their
knowledge. This method is used here because it is less time consuming in nature. Also the data
collected in this tool is in written format which is work as an research evidence for researcher.
Data Analysis: There are numerous ways and techniques for analysis of data like content
analysis, typologies, trend analysis and coding. In this research report, content analysation is
used as analysis of information available from different sources. As the data collected from the
various sources are in raw form so it is essential to analyse the collected data in order to use it in
the research. The data is interpreted and then it is analysed to reach on the results of research.
Proper analysation of data is essential part of whole research process.
Ethics: These refers to the moral values of researcher no matter of time or place. Several
principles which should be followed includes right provided for withdraw their consent,
avoidance of deceptive practices, maintaining confidentiality, etc. helps the investigator to
complete their research ethically. Ethics also include that a researcher should respect the efforts

of other researcher which includes not to present someone else data on the name of own
research. Researcher generally knows some confidential information of an organisation involved
in the research and it is basic moral value to not to disclose that in front of anyone.
Reliability and validity: This comes under another method of research methodology
which depends on questionnaire. This method provides for investigation of reliability and
validity of results by the researcher. Reliability of data is essential in order to achieve objectives
of this research in effective manner. Validation of data in research helps the researcher to reach
on position the researcher wants to go on.
Cost, Access and ethical issues: To reach at appropriate results a researcher focuses on
various aspects and follow methods which includes sufficient amount to be incurred in this
process. This amount is needed to collect primary as well as secondary information in efficient as
well as effective manner. Researcher as an investigator contains access of some other data also
which is required to conduct this resource(Ibrahim and AlOmari, 2020). Apart from this,
researcher also follows basic ethical practices which are required to conduct this research.

Reflection
I am feeling obliged for getting this opportunity to conduct research on such an important
topic that is to determine the importance of Coaching and relationship
building by the manager within small or medium business with a case study on Verdant Leisure.
After performing this investigation I develop my learning about the talent management and
importance of building relations within an organisation. I also learn to use various other methods
of research I was not able to learn in my previous research projects. To complete this project I
also faces many challenges in various ways like taking consent or short time but it prepares me
to do better in future. I also use questionnaire to collect data appropriate for this research.
Alternative Research Methodology
If talked about alternate method of research, Researcher can use interview method to
collect reliable and valid data. Investigator can ask these question from the 50 people by taking
their interview(King and Vaiman, 2019). It is a little bit time consuming then the applied method
but investigator can observe the expression of individuals to get a reliable data for the project. It
will result in best possible research results. There are various other methods apart from that but
these methods are found to be most useful as well as used by various researchers.
RECOMMENDATION
According to the research conducted with the help of employees of Verdant Leisure,
researcher comes to know that it is very essential to provide them coaching in order to make
them work in efficient manner in the organisation. The organisation is recommanded to provide
proper training to their employees(King, 2016). Being an IT sector multinational company it is
not possible to follow informal structure in organisation but it can provide proper time to their
employees to establish a strong relation between employees which not only helps them to know
organisation in a better manner but also makes them feel connected to the organisation. This
feeling of connectivity motivates the employees to perform at their best in the organisation. It

results in better efficiency in production of products and services. It is also seen that the aim of
research is to analyse the significance of employing and building cordial relationships with the
employees working in organisation and to evaluate the significance of employing people and
training them to work effectively. Working according to the objectives can help in enhancing
interest of employees and it will increase productivity of organisation which increase the
profitability.
Employees must be trained in such a manner that in case when they went further in their
career they can use it and achieve success(Lotfi, Hasani and Esfahani, 2020). Taking in mind the
growth of organisation, the employer should also consider the personal growth of an employee
and provide them appreciation for their work. It is essential to keep check on process of
providing coaching to the employees as it helps to better the process of coaching in the
organisation.
CONCLUSION
From all the data collected and studied above it is concluded that talent management is an
essential tool for an organisational. They provide necessary training and coaching to their
employees in order to manage talent in an organisation. It is important to provide training or
coaching to the employees of Verdant Leisure to develop their skills in order to increase
efficiency of employees in production. Good and efficient coaching in a company provides for
efficient working in an organisation. Understanding the value of talent management a research is
conducted on Verdant Leisure. This report also provides for various methodologies used to
conduct this research which provides for various questions to be asked from employees of
Verdant Leisure selected randomly in order to collect data.
