5 Reasons Why 1:1's Are Important

How giving your staff 30 minutes of your time can create positive change.

1. Improved Communication:

Regular 1:1s allow for open and direct communication between the manager and the direct report, helping to establish trust and understanding.

2. Increased Productivity:

Through 1:1s, direct reports are given dedicated space to share where they need guidance, support, and/or feedback, leading to increased motivation and productivity.

3. Better Goal Alignment:

1:1s provide an opportunity for managers and direct reports to discuss their individual goals and align them with the larger team/organisational goals.

4. Early Problem Detection:

By having regular check-ins, managers can detect potential problems or concerns early on and take proactive steps to address them before they escalate.

5. Career Development:

1:1s are an opportunity for direct reports to discuss their career aspirations and receive feedback and guidance from their manager, leading to professional growth and development.
