SANTA FE, N.M., Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
COVID-19 pandemic has left companies grappling with how to support
employees in a new virtual and hybrid work environment in a
meaningful way that will increase retention, productivity, and
satisfaction. An impactful new study is tracking the role of career
advancement coaching to do just this, and corporations are getting
on board. MUFG Investor Services, a provider of asset servicing
solutions to clients globally, announced today it is the latest
company to sign on to a groundbreaking research partnership between
the University of Oxford and remote
employee coaching start-up CareerPoint.com.
The nine-month study will be conducted by the University of Oxford's Kellogg College to
investigate attitudes towards career advancement among young
professional employees and the impact of coaching interventions on
performance, engagement, and career advancement. Participating
companies will receive a wealth of insights into career advancement
obstacles, both real and perceived, among a group that, for many
companies, represents the next generation of managers and
executives.
"We're delighted to welcome a truly progressive employer like
MUFG Investor Services to our Corporate Research Program," said
CareerPoint Founder and CEO Steve
McIntosh. "Numerous studies have shown that providing career
advancement opportunities is key to attracting and engaging the
best talent. It's exciting to partner with industry leaders like
MUFG Investor Services and a center of academic excellence like
Oxford to advance society's
understanding in this very important area."
The CareerPoint Corporate Research Program is open to companies
in qualifying industry sectors in North
America, the UK, and Ireland. Participating companies nominate
between 10 and 50 young professional employees who each receive
personalized CareerPoint coaching over four weeks.
Professor William Scott-Jackson,
Research Director at the Oxford Centre for Employee Engagement,
said, "Coaching has long been restricted to those at the top of
organizations. This important study will explore the individual and
organizational impact of providing this valuable tool for staff at
all levels. This has been made possible through the support of
far-sighted companies like MUFG Investor Services and the
development of a new 'democratized' coaching model developed by
CareerPoint."
"We are delighted to be partnering with CareerPoint for this
important initiative. We take career development and coaching
extremely seriously at MUFG Investor Services, and believe it is
more important than ever for people to be provided with the right
coaching and advancement opportunities, particularly in this new
hybrid world," said Alan Kennedy,
Managing Director – Global Head of Client Operations at MUFG
Investor Services. "I am confident that this study will shine a
light on how impactful coaching can be at all levels of an
organization and that our employees who are taking part will find
it to be a truly rewarding experience."

Program should contact Head of Research & Partnerships Sipha
