I specialize in employee experience and just attended a seminar on this - giving weekly, informal, and organic feedback as work is happening in real time is the best. It keeps employees engaged and you both on the same page when it comes to more formal company performance review 1:1 meetings.
I’d say monthly 30-45 minute 1:1 is sufficient to just listen and see where you can support and manage your team. Ask how things are going for them (personally and professionally), what you can help with, and what they would like to spend more of their time working on, then save the last few minutes for any feedback and comments you may have or reviewing action items.
^^^ ditto
I have 20 directs so as much as I’d love to meet with them weekly, I range between every other week to once a month depending on seniority, role, and preference.
I ask my directs to send me an agenda a day or two ahead so I can come prepared. It’s their time to use as they see fit so unless I have something specific to discuss or feedback to provide I let them set the purpose.
Both of these best practices are well thought out and probably work really well for the teams that are being led. One additional thing that I did with my teams as I gave them a coffee meet, once a month. This is prior to Covid and we had a very large space, campus, that we could utilize. The time was theirs. If they wanted a cup of coffee we could go together, I always bought, and we could talk about whatever they wanted to talk about.
Their education goals, their family scenarios, what their goals were in their career, whatever they wanted to discuss that was their open time to do that, and I got very, very positive feedback about that coffee meet.
I meet biweekly, or monthly at a minimum depending on the individual and our working dynamic. I typically just ask how things are, how I can support them, etc.
Once a week
Thank you for the comments!
