1:1 meeting
A recurring, private conversation between a manager and a direct report — the core loop where context, coaching, and commitments are exchanged and carried forward.
Why it matters
1:1s are where most of the manager relationship happens. Done consistently, they catch problems early, build trust, and create the running record a fair review depends on.
What makes a 1:1 effective
A light, repeatable structure and real follow-through. The agenda matters less than whether last week’s commitments and context actually carry forward.
- Recurring and protected on the calendar.
- A consistent, lightweight structure.
- Action items that survive to the next meeting.
How it shows up in EvalSuite
EvalSuite keeps each 1:1 connected to the last — notes, open action items, and coaching context appear in the next conversation so nothing has to be reconstructed.
Workflow example
A manager walks into a 1:1 already knowing what was promised last week, what is still open, and the coaching theme to revisit — without digging through old notes.
Example output
The visible output should be concrete enough to inspect.
- A consistent recurring cadence
- Carried-forward action items
- Coaching context before the meeting
- A record that supports reviews
