Working in the canton of Jura
The canton of Jura lives on watchmaking subcontracting, machine tools, medtech and a dense fabric of family SMEs around Delémont, Porrentruy and the Franches-Montagnes. Many companies are still run by their founders or their descendants, and technical skills are scarce. The challenge is concrete: structuring growing SMEs, professionalising teams where everyone knows each other, and preparing successions.

Coaching Jura: why choose SHR
Coaching Jura with SHR starts from a concrete goal set with the coachee and shared with the organisation: a new role, leadership presence, team management or workload balance. Every Coaching Jura engagement aims at visible change at work.
Coaching Jura relies on a three-way contract, spaced sessions and real situations worked on between meetings. Confidentiality is guaranteed: the organisation knows the goals of the Coaching Jura, never the content.
Our coaches know the local context and can run the Coaching Jura in the coachee’s working language, on site, at a neutral venue or online.
At the end of the Coaching Jura, a three-way review measures what has changed. To start Coaching Jura, a no-commitment first meeting checks that the working relationship can form.
How SHR coaching works — Coaching Jura
Useful coaching is judged by what changes at work, not by how comfortable the sessions feel. We start from a goal set with the coachee and agreed with the organisation, then track progress against it.
- 01
Chemistry meeting
A no-commitment conversation to check the fit between coach and coachee. If the alliance does not form, we propose another coach — it is the first condition for success.
- 02
Three-way contract
Coachee, manager or HR, and coach agree on two or three observable goals and on what stays confidential. The organisation knows the goals, never the content of sessions.
- 03
Working sessions
Spaced sessions that leave time to experiment in between: real situations, preparing difficult conversations, field feedback. Tools such as 360° feedback are used only when they serve the goal.
- 04
Review
A three-way review of the original goals, what has changed, what remains and how the organisation can support what comes next.
What coaching delivers in practice
- Written, shared goals reviewed at mid-point
- A clear confidentiality frame for the coachee
- A structured final review with the manager or HR
- Ways to consolidate progress after the engagement ends
What coaching is not
It is not therapy, not a disguised disciplinary measure and not a way to load an organisational problem onto one person. When the difficulty lies in structure, role or team, we say so and suggest the right lever.
Reference points we rely on
Meta-analyses of workplace coaching report positive effects on performance, well-being and self-regulation, while stressing the weight of relationship quality and clear goals. Our coaches follow a recognised code of ethics: confidentiality, no conflicts of interest, and referral to another professional when a need is clinical.
