1-on-1 conversations are designed to enhance your interactions with managers, direct reports, and colleagues. Whether you call them 1:1s, 1-1s, 1-to-1s, or one-on-ones, this tool simplifies preparing for and conducting these important conversations.

For managers and direct reports, conversations will automatically appear under Your conversations. You do not need to start a new conversation for these interactions-simply click View conversation to open it. These conversations remain active and ongoing.

If you need to set up a conversation with someone not already under Your conversations (such as a colleague), you can initiate a new one.

Go to the 1-on-1s page.

Click on New conversation.

Choose your peer and relationship type (colleague, manager, or direct report).

Click Create conversation. A notification email will be sent to the recipient.

On the 1-on-1s page, you can use the Filter and Sort by drop-downs to easily sort and filter conversations by:

Your filter and sort options will be saved by default saving you the need to reset your preferences every time you log in.

Click View conversation to open an existing conversation or New conversation if you’re starting a new one.

Click Add topic to include discussion points. These topics will carry over to the next meeting if they remain unchecked.

Both parties can update or add agenda items, ensuring a collaborative approach to meeting preparation.

Check-in sliders and Highlights & challenges appear directly in the agenda, making it easy to update them in preparation for your 1-on-1. Each section includes a Created for tag, indicating which person should complete it.

When opening a conversation with your manager, you’ll see check-in questions directly in the agenda. These questions are designed to spark deeper discussions beyond status updates. To respond:

Adjust the sliders.

Click Save to record your updates.

Once you’ve completed a check-in, a dated comparison view will appear, allowing you to track changes from previous entries over time.

Both managers and individual contributors (ICs) can fill out the Highlights & challenges section, fostering a collaborative preparation process. Only ICs can fill in Check-in sliders, but both parties can contribute to the Highlights & challenges.

Click the arrow next to the 🎉 Highlights question to reveal the text box.

Note your successes or highlights since the last 1-on-1.

Click the arrow next to the 🚧 challenges or roadblocks question.

Note any challenges or roadblocks you’re facing and how you may need support.

Personal notes are visible only to the author (manager or individual contributor) and provide a space to capture key insights from 1-on-1 conversations. This helps ensure important details aren’t forgotten and that follow-ups remain clear. Both managers and individual contributors (ICs) can add personal notes directly in the shared 1-on-1 conversation, making it easy to track context, feedback, and personal information over time.

Each 1-on-1 conversation has its own Personal Notes tab, so you can create unique notes for each interaction. These notes are fully editable and can be deleted at any time to keep them relevant and up-to-date.

Once agenda items are checked off, they move to the Discussed section and are grouped by date. Historical conversations from previous 1-on-1s will also be dated and displayed, making it easy to refer back to past discussions.

Check-in sliders and Highlights & challenges will automatically reappear within 24 hours for your next 1-on-1. A notification will be sent to the person who marked the check-in as complete, with an option to re-add items sooner if needed.
