1:1 Conversations

1:1 conversations are a feature in Culture Amp to help managers and employees have more meaningful, continuous conversations. Now managers and employees can easily prepare for and conduct 1:1 directly in Culture Amp.

Designed by CultureAmp’s organizational psychology experts and team of people scientists, 1:1 conversations are built to drive performance, productivity, and engagement by helping managers and employees talk honestly about things that impact their work. Embedded in the tool is a predefined template that includes:

• A shared agenda, created prior to the meeting to encourage co-creation and employee self-reflection
• A predefined check-in to promote deeper discussion on items that impact the employee’s experience at work
• Targeted questions to help focus the meeting on productivity blockers, not status updates
• Shared notes for clear next steps and items to discuss in the future

Create a 1:1

1. The manager sets up a 1:1 in the platform.
2. Next, the employee receives an email reminder 2 days before the 1-on-1 to prepare. They reflect on how they are doing by completing a short check-in and adding any desired agenda items.
3. The manager can review the employee's check-in responses to help guide where to focus 1-on-1 conversation. The manager can also add any agenda items.
4. The manager receives an email reminder to prepare 1 day before the 1-on-1.
5. On the day of the 1-on-1, the two meet, adding any shared notes in the platform during the meeting.

💡 Tip: In Culture Amp Training we have courses to help managers facilitate better 1-on-1s and a short 2-page quick guide.
