Coaching at scale. Development with depth.
EZRA makes professional coaching accessible through a global network backed by LHH and Adecco. Boon connects coaching, cohort development, executive support, and team workshops into one system tied to your competencies, your managers, and your bottom line.
EZRA is a digital coaching platform backed by LHH (part of the Adecco Group), offering 1:1 professional coaching through a global network with enterprise-grade scale and procurement experience. Boon is a leadership development system with five program formats: individual coaching (SCALE), manager cohorts (GROW), executive coaching (EXEC), team workshops (TOGETHER), and change management (ADAPT). The key difference: EZRA focuses on accessible 1:1 coaching at scale backed by global infrastructure. Boon adds structured program architecture, competency measurement, and manager involvement.
“We can access coaches. The question is whether coaching connects to our business.”
EZRA solves the access problem well. You can get certified coaches in front of your people quickly. The harder question is whether those coaching engagements are tied to the competencies you care about, whether managers are involved in the development process, and whether you can report on what's actually changing at the end of a program.
What accessibility alone doesn't solve.
EZRA delivers coaching. Boon delivers coaching mapped to your specific competencies. That difference matters when leadership asks what changed and you need an answer that goes beyond session count and satisfaction scores.
Without a competency framework, coaching outcomes are self-reported and difficult to benchmark. Boon's pre and post assessments show exactly which capabilities improved and by how much.
EZRA's coaching relationship is between the coach and the coachee. Boon includes structured touchpoints where the manager, employee, and coach align on development goals at the start and review progress at the end.
When managers are out of the loop, coaching improvement stays in the coaching session. When managers are in the loop, they can reinforce what coaching is building, which accelerates behavior change.
1:1 coaching is powerful. Team workshops, manager cohorts, and change management coaching solve different problems. When your organization needs more than individual development, a single-modality platform creates gaps that require additional vendors.
TOGETHER, GROW, and ADAPT are built for the cases where 1:1 coaching alone does not address the challenge. One system, five formats, no stacking vendor contracts.
Five programs vs. one modality.
EZRA is built around 1:1 coaching access. Boon is built around a full development system with five programs that share context, data, and continuity as your organization grows.
1:1 coaching for employees at every level. Not just executives.
Cohort-based manager development with peer learning and structured curricula.
Executive coaching for senior leaders with dedicated, long-term partnerships.
Team workshops and facilitated sessions for intact teams working through real challenges.
AI-powered change management coaching for organizations navigating major transitions.
Every program shares context and data. A manager in GROW and their direct report in SCALE are working in the same system. Competency scores carry across programs so your L&D team sees the full picture, not five disconnected dashboards.
Professional coaching matched to coachees through a digital platform with scheduling, session tools, and progress tracking.
Coaches across markets and languages, supported by LHH's global infrastructure and talent services reach.
Session utilization and engagement reporting for HR and L&D teams.
EZRA's core strength is scale and global access. The platform focuses on making coaching available to more people. Structured program architecture, competency measurement, and manager touchpoints are not the design center.
Compare the details.
Competency alignment
Coaching, assessments, and goals mapped to your organization's competency framework
Coaching goals set between coachee and coach. Not typically mapped to client-specific competency frameworks
Program configuration
Every program configured to your pressure points. No two implementations look the same
Standardized coaching platform. Limited program configuration beyond session cadence and coach matching criteria
Coach context
Coaches briefed on your culture, competencies, and specific development goals
Coach matching considers industry and seniority. Organizational culture briefing is not a standard part of the model
Assessment integration
Pre/post assessments tied to your specific framework. Can integrate with existing 360 tools
Progress tracking available within the platform. Not designed to integrate with client competency frameworks or external 360 tools
Product architecture
Five programs: SCALE, GROW, EXEC, TOGETHER, ADAPT. Context carries between programs
Primarily 1:1 coaching. No cohort, team workshop, or change management program architecture
Where EZRA wins, and where Boon wins.
Global infrastructure: Adecco/LHH backing means enterprise procurement experience, legal, and compliance at scale
Coach network size: Large multilingual coverage for global organizations operating across many markets
Enterprise credibility: A public company parent is a procurement advantage for risk-averse buyers
Fast deployment: Infrastructure built for speed at enterprise scale
Competency measurement: 23% average improvement tracked against your specific framework
Five program formats: 1:1 coaching, cohorts, executive, team workshops, change management
Manager visibility: Structured tri-party alignment connecting coaching to the job
Founder-led: Faster product iteration, direct relationships with clients, no bureaucratic layers
Usage-based pricing: Pay for coaching that gets used, not per-seat licenses
EZRA's global infrastructure is a real advantage for multinational organizations where procurement, legal, and multilingual coverage are deciding factors. Boon is a better fit when competency measurement, manager involvement, and program variety matter more than scale alone.

Questions we hear from L&D leaders.
EZRA is a 1:1 coaching platform backed by LHH and Adecco, built for scale and global access. Boon is a five-program leadership development system that adds competency measurement, manager involvement, and multiple development formats to the coaching relationship. If your primary need is getting certified coaches in front of your people quickly across many markets, EZRA is strong. If you need to connect coaching to competency frameworks and involve managers in development, Boon is built for that.
EZRA is well-suited for large enterprises that need coaching at scale with the procurement backing of a major global organization. The Adecco/LHH parent gives it enterprise procurement credentials, multilingual coach coverage, and data compliance options. The limitation is that it focuses on 1:1 coaching access. Organizations that want structured program architecture, competency measurement, or manager involvement will need to supplement EZRA or choose a platform designed around those capabilities.
EZRA tracks coaching goals and session engagement. It does not typically map coaching outcomes to client-specific competency frameworks or produce pre and post competency scores. If the ability to show what specific leadership capabilities changed and by how much is a requirement for your program, that is a gap in the EZRA model. Boon measures competency growth against your framework, with an average improvement of 23% across client programs.
EZRA uses tiered pricing based on population size and session access, with custom enterprise quotes for large deployments. Boon uses usage-based pricing tied to actual sessions delivered. The right model depends on your expected utilization: if coaching uptake will be consistent and high, tiered pricing can work well. If utilization varies or you are expanding coaching to a new population where engagement is uncertain, usage-based pricing reduces the risk.
GROW, Boon's cohort-based manager development program. TOGETHER, team workshops for intact teams. EXEC, long-term executive coaching partnerships. ADAPT, AI-powered change management coaching. EZRA offers 1:1 coaching. If your development strategy involves more than individual coaching sessions, those additional formats either require EZRA supplementation or a platform that has them built in.
