There are lots of reasons to prioritize good 1:1 meetings – like increased employee retention, engagement, rapport, and productivity – so we designed a tool specifically to help you maximize these check-ins. The Ink+Volt 1:1 Pad offers a strong but simple note-taking structure that will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of your regular check-ins. Each person will walk out of the meeting feeling like they got a lot of value from it. Use the Topics section to determine what will be discussed and set expectations beforehand. Record your discussion notes on the pad, as opposed to on a computer – studies show that taking notes by hand aids in memory retention and better comprehension. Finally, you'll outline the next steps to ensure that everyone involved will remember action items and topics to follow up on next time.
