Q. Can you please give us some tips on how to introduce new 1:1 meetings?

We would like our managers to be having regular “check ins” with their team which include discussions about the employee’s wellbeing. Have you got any tips on how to introduce this kind of regular meeting? If a meeting is entirely about “checking in,” it’s probably a waste of time, and your employees will end up feeling this way too!

Quality one-on-one meetings strengthen relationships,…

Manager’s Checklist for Employee Check-Ins

We are often asked to discuss the topic of employee ‘check-ins’ (or one-on-one meetings, progress meetings, sit-downs, etc.) with our clients when we meet with them or visit them. Why is this you may ask? Well, it doesn’t matter how experienced you are, many managers don’t enjoy doing them, don’t feel they have good meetings with their team members, or simply dread all the paperwork that goes with them! No matter what you call them, increasing the frequency and quality of employee performance conversations remains a priority for many companies…

You thought everything was going well and now you’re asking yourself: What went wrong? Should I have seen this coming? Why is this happening (again)?
