What Are 1:1's and How to Submit Agendas & Recaps - Admin
A 1:1 is a dedicated messaging thread between managers and their direct reports. While many Employers use this tool to submit agendas and notes for regular meetings, it's also valuable for documenting important events and milestones.
1:1 meetings can be scheduled at whatever cadence works best—weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or otherwise—and are meant to provide an ongoing channel for open communication. These conversations cover an employee's responsibilities, achievements, and concerns while creating opportunities for continuous feedback, coaching, and growth-oriented dialogue. Beyond their developmental benefits, 1:1s also serve an important compliance function.
