Why become a corporate member?
Corporate partnerships make a big difference to the work of HCA, by contributing to our growth and sustainability. Our corporate membership scheme is a great way for organisations to meet their own objectives and challenges through coaching, while actively contributing to the future of coaching in Greece.
Corporate members have the unique opportunity to participate in the Advisory Board that holds an advisory and consultative role to HCA Board of Directors, where they can share their ideas, opinions, concerns and experiences on matters relating to coaching/mentoring services that are significant to the corporate world.
In addition to playing a key role in the growth of coaching in the Greek market, corporate members can support the wider socially responsible and charitable work that we do. For instance, in 2011 the HCA launched the ‘Solidarity Coaching’ project with the aim to support non governmental, non profit organizations to improve their results through coaching. Under this scheme, experienced HCA volunteer coaches offer customized, pro-bono executive coaching programs to members of the management teams and other executives of the participating NGOs for a set period of up to 6 months.
With the help of corporate partnerships, we are hoping to extend this pro bono program to other charities and social groups.
