What is a Co-Coach?
A Co-Coach is an employee who will have managerial access to the coaching Session. Any employee can be made a Co-Coach, regardless of their permission level.
Co-coaches are a great fit for assistant managers or HR professionals who play a role in the coaching process.
There is no limit to how many Co-Coaches can be added to a Session or Program.
Required permissions:
There is no permission required to be marked as a Session Co-Coach. Any employee can be a Co-Coach, even if they do not have system Admin or Manager permissions.
