One-on-one meeting
What is a one-on-one meeting?
One-on-one meetings occur between two people, typically a manager and their employee. These meetings are used as a way to connect in order to review or revise work and in some cases, even talk about career development and opportunities for growth within the company.
Why do businesses have one-on-one meetings?
Whether held weekly, monthly or annually, one-on-one meetings are important business tools. By having dedicated face time with employees, managers can better understand their workers, their workload and their career desires.
This information can form the foundation for meaningful employment where employees feel heard and valued. Taking the time to show dedication in employees can go a long way towards improving everything from productivity and morale to employee retention.
How to manage one-on-one meetings?
When having a one-on-one meeting it’s important to be prepared. One way to do this is to set goals and expectations. As the business or circumstances change, these goals and expectations may change from meeting to meeting.
Rather than having to distribute paper agendas, managers and their employees can use Roubler’s electronic document management system. With the ability to upload and access documents at the touch of a button, information sharing is seamless, ensuring that the parties involved in the one-on-one meeting understand the associated expectations and can prepare accordingly.
