GOOD one-to-one template

Managers and employees should have a one-to-one conversation on at least a monthly basis. I prefer fortnightly. This optional template provides a guide for managers and employees to provide structure to the conversation.

  • Manager Name:
  • Employee Name:
  • Date of meeting:

Goals

  • What objectives are you working towards?
  • What have you achieved since the last meeting?

Obstacles

  • What might get in your way of meeting your goals?
    • time
    • resources
    • knowledge
    • confidence
    • health

Opportunities

  • What can you and I do to help overcome the obstacles?
  • What could we do to make your role more fulfilling?

Decisions

  • What actions have we agreed on?
  • How will we know that we are making progress?
