Regular 1:1 meetings<\/a> are crucial for managers and employees to stay informed and build a trusting relationship. When used effectively, the 1:1 Meeting is a powerful tool for improving employee engagement, productivity, and retention.<\/p>\n

However, new managers often lack the experience of knowing what to ask, and employees may not know what they can discuss in a 1:1 meeting. After talking to the users of our performance management tool<\/a>, we realized there was a need to provide guidance to help employees have more productive meetings.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to launch 1:1 Meeting Templates, allowing our customers to provide predefined Talking Points to their team so they can have more meaningful conversations.<\/p>\n

More guidance, more structure, more value<\/h2>\n

Over the past few months, we\u2019ve interviewed HR professionals and managers for their expertise on how to have effective 1:1 meetings and pinpointed three common use cases for 1:1 meetings: Setting Objectives<\/em>, Regular Check-In<\/em>, and Get to Know Each Other<\/em>. Then we created 1:1 Meeting Templates for each use case.<\/p>\n

Our 1:1 Meeting Templates come with a set of predefined Talking Points, offering a roadmap for where conversations should go. Setting the agenda not only gives the 1:1 structure from the start, but it also provides meeting participants with more direction on what to discuss.<\/p>\n
