What Are 1:1's and How to Submit Agendas & Recaps - Employee

A 1:1 is a regularly scheduled meeting that managers hold with each of their direct reports. Ideally this should be held on a weekly basis to provide an ongoing outlet for open communication and dialogue regarding an employee’s responsibilities, successes, and concerns. 1:1s provide the opportunity for continuous feedback, coaching, and growth-centric conversation, not to mention their benefit from a compliance standpoint. 

BerniePortal’s ‘Performance’ feature allows you to manage 1:1 agendas, summaries, and back and forth messaging in one central hub. 

To submit a 1:1 agenda with your direct manager:

1. Login to BerniePortal. 
2. Select ‘Performance’ in the top navigation menu. 
3. Under the ‘My 1:1’ tab, enter your message in the text box, then select ‘Post.’
4. 
5. All prior messages will be available for review with the corresponding date, time, and individual’s name.
