1:1 Meetings are regularly scheduled, structured one-on-one sessions between managers and employees. These meetings are used to track employee development, evaluate performance, and provide the right support at the right time.

1:1 meetings are not limited to formal performance review periods. They can also be effectively used for different purposes such as 2nd, 4th, and 6th month evaluations for new hires, onboarding feedback, and first-week check-ins. This approach ensures that employee development is continuously monitored throughout the year. 🤝


What Are 1:1 Meetings Used For?

Traditional performance reviews are usually conducted at specific intervals and may cause immediate needs to be overlooked.

With 1:1 Meetings:

  • Employee development is monitored on a regular basis

  • Potential issues are addressed early before they grow

  • Support and guidance are provided in a timely manner

This approach strengthens the employee–manager relationship and fosters a trust-based communication culture.
