Whether you&#8217;re a manager or early on in your career, ongoing communication is an important part of managing a team effectively.\n\nWe know that many of you can relate when we talk about internal communication challenges. How do we know? According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/haiilo.com\/blog\/employee-engagement-8-statistics-you-need-to-know\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recent study<\/a>, 60% of companies don&#8217;t have a long-term strategy in place for their internal communication.\n\nThis means that there is no regular communication across the team, which could contribute to workplace silos.\n\n<strong>Ready to dive in and get up to speed with 1:1s?<\/strong> Keep reading as we explain the concept of 1:1s and how you and your team can get the most out of them.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-one-on-one-meeting-11s\">What is a one-on-one meeting (1:1s)?<\/h2>\n1:1s are a scheduled weekly or fortnightly catch-up that an employee has with their direct manager. This is time dedicated for the employee to talk through how their past week or fortnight has gone, as well as commit to things for the future.\n\nAlthough there&#8217;s still structure to 1:1s, it&#8217;s an informal way to catch up on the week that was. They empower accountability and trust and are a great way to discuss goals, engagement, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/career-progression-plan-template\/\">career development<\/a> and roadblocks.\n\n<strong>Did you know? <\/strong>1:1s have many different names.

This could be whether they&#8217;re feeling frustrated or anxious about an upcoming project and need some assistance. Alternatively, feeling happy, inspired and extremely engaged in their work.\n\nThis is important for managers in order for them to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/how-can-hr-help-managers-succeed\/\">manage their direct reports effectively<\/a>.

If it was more than a fortnight ago, you&#8217;re missing out on all the benefits associated with having regular 1:1s.\n\nHere are some benefits of setting regular meetings with your team members.\n<h3 id=\"1-improves-communication\">1. Improves communication<\/h3>\nWe all know that frequent communication is the key to building a high-performing team. When your team is open and honest about their work and current roadblocks, engagement and output naturally improve tenfold.\n\nThere&#8217;s no denying that these days, we&#8217;re busier than ever. Sometimes it can be easy to get caught up in work and deadlines, and that means that regular meetings and communication slip off the agenda.\n\nOne of the benefits of having 1:1s is that you have dedicated time each week to go through how your direct reports are feeling. It&#8217;s also a great opportunity to discuss any challenges they&#8217;re facing either personally or professionally.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/how-to-delegate-effectively\/\">How to delegate tasks effectively<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"2-boost-employee-engagement\">2.

With approximately only <a href=\"https:\/\/peoplepulse.com\/resources\/useful-articles\/employee-engagement\/\">26% of the workforce<\/a> engaged in their roles, pencilling in some time each week to boost engagement seems like a no-brainer!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Only 26% of employees in the workforce engaged in their roles\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33632\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Only-26-of-employees-in-the-workforce-engaged-in-their-roles.png\" width=\"1000\"\/>\n\nWhen you schedule regular 1:1s, your team is more likely to feel engaged with the work they&#8217;re doing and the company as a whole. Regular 1:1s ensure that your direct reports feel heard and valued in their role and by adding structure to your meetings, you can achieve just that.\n\nBy having discussion points and questions for your direct report to answer, you can identify their roadblocks and provide practical solutions to help them meet their targets and goals.\n\nThe result? High-performing, motivated and engaged teams that are always willing to go above and beyond&#8230; Sounds like a dream, right?!\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_32673\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32673\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GIF of man and woman high-fiving\" class=\"wp-image-32673 size-full\" height=\"223\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Transitioning-Your-In-Office-Perks-to-WFH-Perks-4.gif\" width=\"400\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32673\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My direct report and I after a productive 1:1 session.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"3-improves-productivity\">3.

Having this <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/giving-feedback-to-employees\/\">session of constructive feedback<\/a> allows you to set expectations and get the team on the same page.\n\nRemember, your role as a manager is to provide guidance and act as a source of inspiration to your direct report so they will feel empowered to be productive.\n\n<strong>Top tip:<\/strong> During your 1:1s, write a to-do list of tasks you want to achieve in the next week and then review them in your next session.

This allows for transparent conversations to be had and realistic steps put in place to overcome challenges. Don&#8217;t forget that managers are role models for their direct reports so the more trust, the better!\n\nWithout regular 1:1s in place, your direct report might feel as though they can&#8217;t talk to you about issues they&#8217;re facing and this is the last thing you want. You may never understand the challenges or roadblocks they&#8217;re experiencing because they feel as though they&#8217;ll be judged.\n\nIn the workplace, trust is everything.

This can be incredibly frustrating for a direct report &#8212; especially if they&#8217;re waiting an entire year to have <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/compensation-conversations\/\">career conversations<\/a> and discuss their next steps.\n\nThe result of not talking about career development?

Small things like discussing where they&#8217;d like to be in six months can make all of the difference.\n\nYou can start this discussion by asking questions about skills they&#8217;d like to improve on and what their dream position would be. From here, you can put a clear action plan in place so they can <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/employee-coaching-plan-template\/\">actively work towards their career goals<\/a>.\n\nRemember, by encouraging your direct report to regularly think about their career goals, they&#8217;ll be more motivated to achieve them.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/online-performance-management-system-benefits\/\">Benefits of having an online appraisal system<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"6-allows-for-goals-to-be-proactively-set-and-monitored\">6.

If you prepare a few questions prior to the meeting, it can help guide your discussion and result in an effective outcome. Sounds good, right?\n\nTo help you get the most out of your 1:1s, we&#8217;ve rounded up our top tips.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"how to prepare for one on ones\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2109\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EH_0016_BlogPost_1on1-1024x683.png\" width=\"690\"\/>\n<h3 id=\"be-prepared\">Be prepared<\/h3>\nPreparation is key when it comes to an effective and productive 1:1. Start by thinking about a few questions your direct report will find useful so you can help them achieve their goals.\n\nAre you looking for status reports? Looking to share feedback? Or simply want to have a free-form meeting to catch up on their personal life?\n\nBy setting a meeting agenda, you&#8217;ll be able to support your employee and ultimately be more collaborative.\n<h3 id=\"set-a-regular-cadence\">Set a regular cadence<\/h3>\nWhether you choose weekly or bi-weekly meetings, having your 1:1s on as a recurring calendar event means they won&#8217;t suddenly disappear from your agenda.\n\nEven when times are busy and you have to reschedule your 1:1s, make sure you move them to a different time or day. You don&#8217;t want to fall into the routine of continually saying &#8220;Sorry, can we reschedule our 1:1?&#8221; and they never actually happen.\n\nHowever, if things are going well and you&#8217;re both happy to miss the occasional 1:1, that&#8217;s a-ok, too &#8212; just make sure to reschedule!\n<h3 id=\"remain-flexible\">Remain flexible<\/h3>\nAlthough you should have a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/1-1-meeting-template\/\">meeting structure set<\/a> with talking points planned for each week, it&#8217;s important to remain flexible on the meeting structure. If the 1:1 focuses specifically on one roadblock someone is facing in their day-to-day work, and you find a solution, that&#8217;s still a great outcome.\n\nSometimes your 1:1s will be 10 minutes (especially if set regular meetings with your direct report), sometimes they&#8217;ll be an hour. There&#8217;s no right or wrong way when it comes to 1:1s &#8212; it can be a process of trial and error and finding out what works best for both of you.\n<h3 id=\"dont-make-it-too-formal\">Don&#8217;t make it too formal<\/h3>\nThe last thing you want to do is make your 1:1s a formal, robust process where your team member feels like they can&#8217;t have a personal conversation about how they&#8217;re feeling.\n\nIf some weeks you only focus on one issue, that&#8217;s still considered a productive 1:1. They&#8217;re designed to increase trust and communication within teams so you can help them both in <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/how-to-coach-employees-in-the-workplace\/\">achieving their professional goals<\/a> as well as in personal development.\n\n<strong>REMEMBER<\/strong>: 1:1s are a casual way to share feedback, progress and discuss challenges with your direct reports &#8212; they aren&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/performance-review-template\/\">annual performance reviews<\/a>.\n<h3 id=\"be-honest\">Be honest<\/h3>\nAt the end of the day, honesty is key.
