Watch the Intro to Getting started with 1:1s video here πŸ‘‡ or continue reading below.

We built one to one's to give managers and their people the ability to have regular, rich conversations around workplace priorities. While we see this as a primary function anyone can create a 1:1 with a colleague in work.

What is a 1:1?

A 1:1 is a set time slot in your calendar where you can meet with a manager, direct report or peer regularly and have a discussion.

Why should you have one?

Setting regular 1:1 meetings with your people provides a mechanism to facilitate conversations around performance expectations, and provide support and coaching needed when it matters most on an ongoing basis.

How Frankli helps you track 1:1s

  • A 1:1 schedule has a defined first date and time and then a frequency for recurring 1:1s that can be daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, annually or on an individual basis.Β 

  • Ability to connect your Microsoft / Google account and view availability directly via outlook/google calendar

  • Ability to host the meeting in person or via video using your favourite tools (MS Teams, Slack, Zoom)

  • Reminders are sent via email and in app for scheduled meetings

  • An ability to select and set a list of recurring talking points or to choose from a list of predefined templates

  • An ability to collaborate (both participants) on the talking points

  • A rich view of employee goal progress, ideas, praise and feedback are visible both before and during a meeting.

  • Participants can action items, create new action points, capture shared and private notes and add files to the meeting.

  • Once marked as complete, the next meeting in the 1:1 schedule gets created.

Note: When you're creating a new 1:1 schedule and you're logged with your Microsoft / Google Account - Frankli will connect to your Outlook / Google calendar to get the latest information about your and the participants availability. This will make picking the best time for the meeting easier.

Here's to great conversations with your people where everything is captured and managed in one place.
