Manager Check-In Best Practices: 1:1s, Goals, and Recognition That Actually Stick
TMA Performance
59:45
Most managers know they should be having regular one-on-ones. Far fewer have a repeatable way to run them — so check-ins get skipped, goals drift out of view, and recognition happens only when someone remembers to say something.
In this 60-minute session, we'll walk through what a strong manager check-in cadence actually looks like in practice: how often to meet, who owns the agenda, what to ask, and how to keep goals and recognition in the conversation instead of in a separate annual process. We'll also show how Portal Check-In supports that rhythm — giving managers structure without adding administrative weight, and giving HR visibility into whether check-ins are happening at all.
You'll leave with:
- A practical 1:1 framework managers can use next week
- Question sets for goals, workload, and development conversations
- Guidance on cadence and documentation that respects a manager's time
- Ways to make recognition consistent rather than sporadic
Plus live Q&A with our team.
