A one to one is a meeting at FitXR that happens between two colleagues and more commonly between team member and people manager. In this section, we will run through expectations of one-to-ones and how to best prepare for them and get the most out of them.

The key to a good 1:1 meeting is the understanding that it is the employee’s meeting rather than the manager’s meeting. This is the free-form meeting for all the pressing issues, brilliant ideas and chronic frustrations that do not fit neatly into status reports, slack messages and other less personal and intimate mechanisms.”

At FitXR 1:1's are a forum for safe and trusted discussions which create meaningful actions. What do we expect to see?

• 1:1's should be led by the owner and coached, supported and advised by the Manager.
• 1:1's are personal, this is a time to discuss what's working, what's not, how you are feeling and career goals.
• They should happen regularly typically we expect to see them once a week or twice a month depending on what is needed. Don't be afraid to try something and iterate the frequency.
• We are not prescribed on how 1:1's are documented, Google Docs, Trello or Notion are popular methods.
• It is important that 1:1's are tracked, recorded and act as a reference point.
• The 1:1 itself should have three sections:
  1. shared agenda
  2. discussion points
  3. actions

<aside> 🎯 Below is a series of suggested questions in a variety of 1-1 meetings managers could consider. Team members should also consider these questions to flag any key discussion points. 1:1's should be led by the owner and coached, supported, and advised by the Manager, don't wait for a question to be asked if you want to raise something.

It might help by mapping challenges, emphasise what should be worked on first, and see where the manager and/or individual can provide the biggest value.

It goes without saying 1:1's should be safe spaces that create trust and honesty. By writing it down and having a doc, you can go back to it for check-ins, half-year and annual reviews.
