Build a Employee Coaching App with Glide
A Glide employee coaching app gives managers a structured framework for regular coaching conversations, goal tracking, skill development plans, and performance documentation — turning irregular, informal coaching into a consistent, documented practice that develops employees and protects the business. GlideApps Agency builds coaching and performance development tools for companies where manager quality varies significantly and HR needs a system that instills good coaching habits across the management population. We make structured coaching accessible to every manager, not just the naturally gifted ones.
GlideApps Agency builds production-ready Employee Coaching apps for enterprises and growth-stage companies — 350+ Glide apps delivered since 2019, with deep expertise in hr & internal tools. Projects start at $15,000 with typical delivery in 4–8 weeks.
What does building a Employee Coaching app include?
Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.
Discovery & Architecture
Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.
UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.
Development & QA
Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.
Launch & Support
User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.
Key features of your Employee Coaching app
Coaching Conversation Templates
Guide managers through structured 1:1 and coaching conversations with pre-built question frameworks for different coaching contexts — goal-setting, development planning, performance concerns, and career conversations.
Goal Setting & Progress Tracking
Document employee goals with measurable outcomes and track progress through regular check-ins. Both manager and employee can see goal status and add progress notes between formal review cycles.
Development Plan Management
Create and track individual development plans with specific skills to build, learning resources to complete, and stretch assignments to pursue — giving development conversations a documented, actionable output.
Coaching Session History & Documentation
Maintain a timestamped record of all coaching conversations so managers can reference previous discussions in subsequent sessions and HR has documentation of the support provided to each employee.
