3. Add agenda items
To add agenda items to your 1:1 begin by selecting a discussion topic. There are three topics to choose from: CARE, Custom, and Goal/Task.
Discussion Topics
CARE topic
CARE is an acronym that stands for coaching, appreciation, rapport, and evaluation. Each of the CARE topics comprises a list of guided discovery questions.
When you choose a CARE topic, Meeting Builder displays each of the CARE topic categories:
Coaching - Questions designed to help you course correct so that you can perform better.
Appreciation - Questions designed to prompt you to think about your team member’s hard work so that they feel valued.
Rapport - Questions designed to help you build deeper connections with your teammate.
Evaluation - Questions designed to help you inform your teammate how they are performing.
💡 Tip: We recommend that you select 1 question from each CARE topic in each 1:1 meeting.
Custom topic
Custom topics can be anything you’d like to discuss: policies, procedures, conflict resolution, strategy, corporate updates, reminders, uniforms, tardiness, tools, technology, email etiquette, co-worker challenges, holiday schedules, scheduling, smelly food…
Custom topic is the space to address all these things and more.
Goal/Task
Goal/Task features all the goals and tasks that have been added to the Strategy section. Adding Goals and Tasks to your 1:1’s ensures that no action plan item falls through the cracks.
