How to prepare for a 1:1 meeting in Adapto
Preparing for a 1:1 meeting is simple and straightforward in Adapto. Here's how it works:
When your employee has prepared for a meeting, Anna will prompt you to prepare for the meeting as well..
You'll find the meeting in the activity stream under the selected employee
There are 4 simple steps in the preparation:
- Read your employees preparation
- Learn from Anna's suggestion
- Write down your notes
- Make an agenda
You start by reading your employee's preparation.
1. What do they hope to get out of the meeting?
2. What situation or task would they like to address?
3. What is their primary challenge?
4. What can you as their manager do to support them?
By doing so you'll understand more about their situation and you can start reflecting on it.
Next step is Anna's suggestions. She will, based on your employees preparation, suggest some actions you can take and provide selected learning material for you. These are typically short 2-3 minute videos and sometimes she also finds a job aid for you. We highly recommend to go through this material.
You can then make notes for the meeting
The meeting agenda is automatically created, and you can add to it and share it with your employee.
Send the meeting agenda to the employee.
Now both you and your employee are fully prepared for the meeting and there is no excuse for not making the meeting a great success. Enjoy!
