One-to-ones are the royal road to employee engagement. Research indicates that employees who have regular meetings with their managers are three times more likely to be engaged in their job. But when done poorly, one-on-ones can quickly become the bane of your team’s existence: draining resources one lousy meeting at a time. This workshop equips participants with practical tools to prepare for one-to-one meetings, build rapport, navigate performance and developmental conversations, regulate emotions during difficult discussions, and wrap up meetings positively while collecting valuable feedback. By the end of the workshop, participants will have acquired the essential tools to ensure their one-to-ones are effective and worthwhile.
