Hiring KIT Coaches

Agreements and Recommendations

When hiring external KIT-Coaches, organizations should establish clear agreements covering:

• Scope of work
• Confidentiality and data protection
• Session frequency and format
• Red flags and escalation pathways
• Supervisory requirements
• Expected reporting (non-identifiable and contractually appropriate)

KIT-Coaches must be certified, active, and compliant with annual supervision requirements.

Quality Assurance

To maintain coaching excellence, organizations should verify:

• Coach certification and active status
• Evidence of annual supervision
• Adherence to the KIT Code of Conduct
• Clear coaching objectives aligned with organizational goals
• The coach's independence in sensitive matters

Quality assurance protects both the organization and the individual receiving coaching.

Transparency & Reporting

Coaches may share progress updates with the organization only within agreed boundaries and without revealing personal or sensitive information.

Typical permissible reporting includes:

• Engagement status
• Attendance / participation
• High-level themes related to development (non-identifiable)
• Recommendations for next steps (with consent)

Confidentiality always takes precedence over organizational curiosity.
