Abstract
Imagine the scene. A manager at a blue‐chip company has a heart‐to‐heart with his staff. They talk openly and freely, even admitting personal weaknesses and failings in the workplace. They develop such a rapport that before they know it they have unanimously agreed on suitable working practices and performance targets for the year. The result? At the year’s end they have doubled the company’s growth rate. This impressive story is an example of a growing number of extraordinary turnarounds facilitated by professional coaching.

Abstract
Digital transformation is a much prevalent process being practiced in the different spheres of the business sectors. This transformational framework has been made possible by the extensive use of digital technologies. Nevertheless, companies are serious regarding the digital transformation process but hesitate in their stock of workers possessing digital abilities. The building up of dexterous teams is of paramount importance in achieving goals. In the research, there has been an examination of the techniques and methods used by select companies to encourage and develop their employees to become attuned with the digital transformation processes implemented. The author has also conducted an exploratory study to identify the sophisticated techniques used by most new companies on their workforce to upgrade their digital awareness and capabilities. Furthermore, in doing so, a model has been developed to sustain, evolve, and ultimately to transform the employees in the digital era.

Abstract
The Great Benchmarking Scam? Time was, in management circles, that the term “benchmarking” would induce none‐too‐disguised yawns in recognition of it “being something to do with computers or job evaluation”. Not today; those yawns have been replaced with the excited management‐blabber of a new fad. You can benchmark anything these days; I encountered recently a guide to benchmarking employee attitudes.
