Quick takeaways

  • Active participation from the direct report is crucial for the value of one-on-one meetings, with the ideal balance being for the direct to speak between 50 to 90% of the time.
  • Regular one-on-one meetings, held either weekly or bi-weekly, significantly increase employee engagement and should include an agenda created with the involvement of the direct report.

One-on-one meetings have a significant impact on both the direct report and the manager. They address tactical needs and shape the employee's experience and attachment to the organization. One-on-one meetings also promote manager success as they elevate the performance of direct reports and the team. However, research suggests that around 50% of employees find their one-on-ones sub-optimal, highlighting a potential blind spot for managers.
