Enhancing ELM
Why It Matters Now - and How Moco Coaching Can Help
The Employee Lifecycle Management - from attraction to exit-is where the retention, culture and success of an organisation truly bloom. Yet for many UK businesses, critical gaps remain.
1. Attract and Recruit: Why First Impressions Count
Nearly 49% of UK employees say they'll consider leaving their job once the economy improves, signalling a potential retention cliff.
41% of new recruits quit within just 12 weeks, according to the CIPD and Omni RMS.
2. Onboarding: Where Engagement Begins-or Fails
A strong onboarding experience can boost retention by up to 82%, while weak onboarding sees early departures.
Yet, around 81% of new hires feel overwhelmed in onboarding.
3. Development and Mobility: Fuel for Growth
Only 43% of UK organisations have mature career development programmes in place.
75% of Gen Z workers want long-term employment with employers who invest in their growth.
4. Engagement and Retention: The ROI of Inclusion
Despite 79% of employees wanting to do their best work, only 31% are truly engaged.
Low engagement costs the global economy US$8.8 trillion in lost productivity.
UK turnover remains stubbornly high at 35%, with replacement costs ranging from six to nine months’ salary up to 200% of annual salary in senior roles.
Where Moco Coaching Makes the Difference
Employee Lifecycle Management (ELM) is complex-but coaching is agile. Moco Coaching strengthens each stage of the cycle with practical, people-centred support.
Onboarding Transformation
Coaching ensures new hires feel supported, confident and clear - reducing overwhelm and accelerating performance.

Leadership Enablement
We equip managers with coaching skills so they can lead with empathy and purpose, creating retention-rich environments.
Moco as the Safety Net
But lifecycle management isn’t only about planned development milestones. Life happens - parents step back for childcare, health challenges arise, redundancies reshape teams or employees lose confidence after extended leave.
This is where Moco Coaching acts as the safety net. We help employees navigate back with ease, clarity and purpose, ensuring that personal challenges don’t derail long-term careers or business performance.
Whether it’s guiding return-to-work parents, supporting staff through wellbeing struggles or helping leaders rebuild after setbacks, coaching provides the bridge back into confident contribution.
Why It Works - and Why It Matters Now
With nearly half of UK employees considering leaving and disengagement at worrying levels, organisations need more than processes. They need people-first solutions.
ELM is not a tickbox - it’s a competitive advantage. And coaching is the enabler that transforms lifecycle stages into experiences that retain, develop and empower people.
When employees feel seen, supported and equipped - not just in the smooth times, but in the difficult ones too—they don’t just stay. They thrive.
At Moco Coaching, we help organisations create lifecycle journeys that don’t just lengthen employment, but strengthen it.
