Schoox allows for coaching sessions with team members at a set cadence or as needed. This provides managers the ability to track their team members' strengths and areas of opportunity, ensuring they continue to grow even after training is complete.
Creating Sessions is done on an individual basis as Coaching is not meant to be done in a group environment. To setup a new Session, navigate to the Team Workspace, Coaching on the left navigation, and Create Session.
On the page that appears, you will see everything that is in process or created, as well as filters and sorting options. There will also be a Create Session button that will allow you to setup a session with an individual.

If you select Monthly, based on the selected date of the first session (Day of the month and of the week) it will ask if you wish it to be the same date each of the following months or the same day/week (e.g. third Thursday of each month) of the upcoming months..
