THE ANSWER IS YES!

SnowHR's ease of use doesn't come at the expense of functionality – it's both intuitive and incredibly capable.
The answer to each of the questions below is yes!

  • I'm managing multiple team members, and it's challenging to keep track of who I've scheduled meetings with and who I haven't. Is there a feature that allows me to easily view this so I don't miss out on meeting anyone?
  • My schedule is always packed, and I often lose track of which meetings I've just completed and which are coming up next. Can I quickly see both my recently completed and upcoming meetings on my dashboard?
  • I sometimes forget to prepare for my meetings because I don't get any reminders. Can the system remind me to provide answers, add notes, and include talking points for upcoming meetings?
  • I always find it difficult to locate my action items and often don't know what needs to be done. Can I see all my pending action items easily on my dashboard?
  • I've missed scheduled meetings with my team members because I forgot to set them up again. Can I add recurring meetings to ensure regular check-ins with my team?
  • As an HR Admin, I want to ensure managers consistently use the one-on-one meeting tool to engage with their teams. Is there a way to monitor its usage and even send reminders to those not scheduling regular check-ins?
  • Creating a meeting from scratch every time is a real time-sink. Can I create meeting templates with talking points to make it easier for managers to use the one-on-one meeting software?
  • Confidentiality is a big concern for me. Is there a way to strictly control who can access the content discussed during a one-on-one meeting?
  • Being in the CEO chair, I need a bird's-eye view of team engagement. Can we get insights on metrics like the number of meetings conducted each week, the average number of meetings per employee, or even identify employees who have never had meetings?
  • As an HR Admin and a Manager, I'm keen on ensuring our one-on-one meetings are as effective as possible. Can SnowHR's tool send out a feedback survey to employees immediately following each one-on-one meeting? This could provide invaluable insights for continuous improvement.
  • I manage a team and want to keep track of their goals and progress. Is there a feature that lets me add my employees' goals as talking points so we can review them together?
  • Sometimes, I have observations about my employees that I'd like to keep confidential until I discuss them with them. Is there a feature that allows me to keep private notes that I can bring up during our one-on-one meetings?
  • As an HR Admin, I'd like to standardize the talking points in one-on-one meetings across the organization. Can SnowHR's 1:1 tool be configured to include a preset list of talking points for everyone?
  • I tend to procrastinate on my tasks because there's no sense of urgency. Will the system send me reminders for my pending action items?
  • I've received feedback, accolades, and even awards, but I sometimes forget to discuss them in my 1:1s with my manager. Can I add these as talking points for our meetings?
  • I have so many one-on-ones that important discussions get lost in the sea of meetings. Is there a way to bookmark a critical one-on-one so I can easily find it later for reference?
  • As a manager, adding the same talking points to every meeting with my direct reports is cumbersome. Can a set of standard talking points automatically populate in all my one-on-ones?
  • Sometimes, after scheduling multiple meetings, I realize I've forgotten to include an important talking point. Do I have to go into each meeting separately to add it, or can I add it to all of them in one fell swoop?"

SnowHR is the perfect tool for teams that want to improve their one-on-one meeting productivity and efficiency. With SnowHR, teams can have more focused and productive meetings that lead to better results.

10 tips to take into account when conducting one-on-one meetings

Read article

One-on-one meeting template

If you want your one-on-one to be productive, consider including these topics on the agenda:

Task and project status

The one-on-one should include a quick review of the action items from your last meeting. During your 1:1 Meetings, you can discuss things too granular for a daily stand-up.
Managers should also discuss the progress of projects that affect their direct reports. The company's and team's goals will be met this way.

Performance

A one-on-one meeting is best to discuss your direct report's performance concerns. If you point out issues in meetings or surprise employees during performance evaluations, they may become disengaged and unhappy at work.

Challenges

Challenges are often discussed during team meetings and stand-ups, but one-on-one meetings provide an opportunity to brainstorm potential solutions and support employees.

Employee goals

Support and regularly review team members' career development goals, making them feel valued beyond project deadlines.

Culture check-in

Your business's culture significantly affects engagement, happiness, and productivity. Discuss with each team member how the business culture affects their goals and happiness.

Employee wins

Good managers often forget to celebrate employee successes, but it can significantly impact their feelings of value. Be sure to recognize your team members' outstanding performance in one-on-one meetings and within the team.

Action items

In one-on-ones, establish clear action items for discussion points, document them, and share the list with deadlines. Maintain accountability for assigned tasks until the next meeting.

WHAT IS A ONE-ON-ONE MEETING?

A one-on-one meeting is a regular meeting between a manager and an employee. It is a time for the manager to check in with the employee, get their feedback, and provide them with support and guidance.

One-on-one meetings are an essential part of employee development and engagement. They provide a space for employees to share their thoughts and ideas, ask questions, and get feedback from their manager. 1:1 meetings can help employees feel more connected to their work and more supported by their manager.
One-on-one meetings can also be used to discuss performance, set goals, and develop action plans. This can help employees stay on track and achieve their goals.

1:1 meetings also help build and maintain strong, trusting relationships between managers and employees, promoting open communication, mutual understanding, and overall job satisfaction.
