Regular 1-on-1 check-ins between managers and employees are a powerful way to follow up on planning and performance goals and safeguard employee wellbeing. 1-on-1 meetings also provide the opportunity to discuss progress towards agreed goals, celebrate successes, and identify obstacles.
Additionally, they give managers the ability to keep a finger on the pulse. Important topics we recommend discussing in frequent check-in meetings include:
- Employee wellbeing
- Progress on agreed goals
- Successes to celebrate and any blockers where the manager can help
Research from Gallup and others shows that maintaining a continuous dialogue gives a tremendous boost to employee engagement. With Learned, it becomes much easier for managers to conduct structured check-in meetings.
