One-to-One conversations guidance

September 17, 2024

Following suggestions raised via the People Engagement Teams, new guidance has been developed on how to conduct effective one-to-one conversations. This is available on Connect here: One-to-One Conversation Guidance for Managers

One-to-one conversations are vital tools for effective management and employee engagement. These regular, dedicated meetings between managers and their direct reports provide a structured space to discuss progress, address concerns, and offer support. They are essential for building trust, recognising achievements, and aligning with team objectives.

One-to-one meetings are crucial for enhancing communication, well-being, and overall performance. They offer employees an opportunity to share thoughts, receive feedback, and discuss career development in a supportive environment. When managers prioritise these meetings, they foster a culture of recognition, early problem-solving, and mutual trust.

Managers to encouraged to ensure they have regular one-to-one conversations with their direct reports and to review this guidance to help ensure these conversations are meaningful and effective.
