International to enhance productivity, performance, and leadership development

CoachHub( https://www.coachhub.com/ja/ ), the leading global digital coaching

company, today announced the opening of their new office in the heart of

year old global digital coaching pioneer has seen a 3X increase in their coach

Amid the current climate, digital coaching is emerging as a preferred route by

CoachHub's customers like Twitter, Fujitsu, Asics, TDK and Japan Tobacco

International to lend their employees support on job satisfaction, wellbeing

and leadership development, all of which contribute to business improvements.

CoachHub's 2023 Business Trends in Coaching survey(

areas of digital transformation is amongst the top themes that organisations

are interested in.

"Japan offers CoachHub a tremendous growth opportunity as the nation opens up

and the government asks businesses to embrace online services. Our vision at

CoachHub is to offer a personal coach for every employee in Japan, accompanying

them as a guide to measurably advance in their careers," said Ryoyu Otsuka, VP

Sales, CoachHub, Japan. "We can implement a standard coaching programme in a

coaching researcher Prof. Dr. Jonathan Passmore and employs a team of 30

leading behavioral scientists. CoachHub couples human intelligence with
