What belongs in a 1:1
Effective one-on-ones balance the employee’s agenda (growth, blockers, feedback they need) with the team’s needs (clarity, alignment, recognition). This template separates topics from discussion notes so you can scan past meetings without rereading full paragraphs.
The Actions & owners column is where commitments live — ideally each line names who does what by when. Next 1:1 focus seeds the following meeting so neither side starts from a blank page.
Psychological safety
- Let the reportee add topics first; manager topics second.
- Keep career conversations recurring even when projects are calm.
- Use the footer for sensitive notes that should not live in shared systems.
See meeting prep for a checklist before important conversations, and meeting agenda when you need tighter time-boxing.
