Assembly is a free employee engagement, recognition, and rewards platform (free for unlimited users). Raise the bar on recognition and help instill your company's core values.

Make every meeting count by having better conversations with one-on-ones. Add structure, transparency, and accountability to one-on-one meetings. Schedule the occurrence, customize the questions, and guide the conversation in one easy workflow.

Doing one-on-ones pays rich dividends, but investing time can be tricky for managers who wear many hats. Without structure and organization, one-on-ones can quickly turn into a time hog. This one-on-one workflow makes it seamless to have one-on-ones that work. You can schedule the cadence and timing, add direct reports, and get a set of questions as a foundation. Customize to fit your managerial style, and voilà, you’re ready for a 1:1. The main benefits of using Assembly’s One-on-One workflow are: • Automate the process • Investing time in meeting all team members in person is an inefficient use of your time, especially when you have a full plate. Using the one-on-one workflow template allows you to automate and improve the process with the right questions, accountability, and timing. • Documenting responses for future reference (goodbye, spreadsheets 👋) • Employee responses work as valuable input when creating a roadmap for the future. But documenting responses on a spreadsheet is tedious. Using the Assembly template lets you put recording responses on autopilot. • Ask the right questions. The questions you should include in a one-on-one depend on your workflow, culture, and other factors. • Get better answers. • Eye contact during an in-person meeting can feel overwhelming. 😬 That’s why one-on-ones often remain a surface-level discussion. Your employee can be trying to answer quickly rather than thoroughly. One-on-ones should be insightful and productive, and that’s precisely what you get with this workflow.

I love using Assembly 1:1s. They've made my facetime with my peers and manager so much more valuable, and it's great to always have a record of what's on our minds week after week. I highly recommend it! A strong company culture starts with strong 1:1 relationships, and this tool helps you do just that.

The Assembly 1:1 workflow is one of my favorites! It helps me stay aligned with my report and manager on a weekly basis. This workflow allows us to get everything on the table before the 1:1 to ensure that we spend our time covering the most important topics and questions at hand. The increased visibility and transparency that the 1:1 flow brings increases trust and builds strong team dynamics. I highly recommend adopting this workflow for all your 1:1s!
