Regular 1:1s between managers and employees are a powerful way to track planning and performance goals and ensure employee well-being. These meetings also provide an opportunity to discuss progress toward agreed-upon goals, celebrate successes and identify obstacles. In addition, it allows managers to keep a finger on the pulse. Important topics that we recommend discussing in frequent 1:1s include:
- the well-being of the employee
- progress on the agreed goals
- successes that can be celebrated and any roadblocks that the supervisor can help with
Research done by Gallup and others shows that having an ongoing dialogue gives a huge boost to employee engagement. Learned makes it much easier for managers to engage in structured 1:1s.
