By cheering on the UK's three million sporting coaches, the team behind UK Coaching takes a key role in keeping communities active. The small charity, based in Leeds, made sure it didn't drop the ball during a challenging year by communicating regularly with its workforce.
Videos, inspirational quotes and wellbeing advice were shared to keep spirits up as team members, in turn, gave instructors and trainers across a wide range of sports and activities – from grassroots to elite level – a shoulder to lean on. Learning and development is at the core of the charity's ethos. UK Coaching develops courses that help coaches support the needs and dreams of the people they teach – but the charity's mission goes further.
Everything that team members facilitate is seen as an opportunity to open up possibilities, helping people grow in confidence, get better at what they do and connect through the medium of physical activity. The charity says: “When community leaders grow in confidence and feel better connected, they will achieve amazing things for their local communities.”
Developing new products and services has kept employees busy and motivated. The charity appointed a new head of People and Culture in January 2021 who will develop a new structure for regular meetings and feedback.
This job is good for my own personal growth
All staff have free access to a selection of e-learning courses. In 2020, senior managers completed training in coaching skills to help employees during the pandemic, and will carry on embedding a coaching culture within the organisation.
My team is fun to work with
Team members have inspired their colleagues by taking it upon themselves to connect with and support others. The IT team had a pivotal role in keeping the organisation running over the past year, making sure everyone had the right gear and software and knew how to make the most of it.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
UK Coaching has introduced a more flexible way of working to make sure employees can carry on having a good work-life balance in future. Colleagues working from home have been able to get together for virtual salsa, fitness buddies sessions and social events.
At least 40% of senior managers are women.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
