Watch this video to see how to run a Strety 1:1 from end-to end!
How to Set-Up and Access 1:1s
A 1:1 agenda will be automatically generated for every Manager & Direct Report pairing. For more on how to assign Direct Reports in order to generate a 1:1 agenda, check out this article
Once you have your Manager-Direct Report relationships established, all the 1:1 agendas you are a part of - either as the Manager or Direct Report - can be accessed from your Homepage
You can also access the 1:1 agenda for anyone you have access to from the agendas tab in their Person Space
How to build your 1:1 agenda
Click into the Active Agenda, click Add in the left pane, and begin to build your agenda. You can begin adding items & tools from scratch or use a template as a starting point
Adding Custom Agenda Items
Custom Agenda Items are designed for those items you want to discuss in every 1:1 meeting. They are automatically set as recurring and you can see the comment & note history from past meetings around the item, making it simple and easy to review
Note: You can toggle off recurring if you decide you no longer want to discuss the agenda item going forward or opt to use Custom Agenda Items as one-off items
Adding Tools to 1:1s
Tools represent each of the data components an individual can be assigned - Action Items, Rocks, Scoreboards, Topics, or Announcements. When adding a tool to your 1:1, you bring in all the items shared with the Direct Report's Person Space into the agenda for a review/discussion.
We recommend incorporating all tools into your 1:1s; this provides a better opportunity for feedback & guidance around the items than a team meeting may allow. The tools also include any Personal items, like Rocks or Action Items assigned to the Direct Report, so you can discuss
Best Practices: Using Custom Agenda Items vs Topics or Announcements
Strety is purpose-built as an adaptable platform that allows organizations, teams, and managers run meetings their preferred way - how you choose to build & run your 1:1 agendas are a great showcase of that flexibility. However, we do have recommendations for how to best leverage each tool/item in your 1:1s for maximum impact:
Custom Agenda Items: We recommended these for recurring agenda items - items you want to discuss each time you meet
Topics: We recommend creating Personal Topics to discuss any one-off or ad-hoc issues that represent questions or challenges. Why? Because you gain the benefit of having an option to add Resolution Notes and/or assigning linked Action Items to the Topic, increasing accountability & context to the issue
Announcements: We recommend creating Personal Announcements for any quick announcements or DYK's you want to inform one another about. Typically these require little to know follow-up and are meant to be checked-off in each meeting
In the above screenshot, we show how to designate a Topic (or Announcement) to be shared with the Direct Report's Person Space, allowing it to be discussed in the Topics section of the 1:1 agenda until resolved
Completed 1:1s
Once you complete a 1:1, both the Manager and Direct Report will receive an email summary of the agenda that includes all high-level details including Topics Resolved, Announcements Discussed, and the meeting Ratings
You can also access all past 1:1 summaries from the Agenda tab in the Direct Report's Person Space
