1on1 is an abbreviation for “1on1 meeting” and refers to regular one-on-one discussions between subordinates and superiors.
An increasing number of companies are introducing this as a measure to keep their organizations moving in the same direction and maintain smooth communication and teamwork even under
telework
conditions.
Key points for 1on1 introduction
There are two expected effects of 1on1 meetings: “deepening subordinates’ experience and learning” and “increasing subordinates’ motivation.”
1on1 meetings are “meetings for development” that draw out what subordinates have to say through two-way communication, listen to any concerns or problems that arise, and discuss what can be done to bring out the capabilities of subordinates.
If a relationship of trust is not established, it will be difficult for subordinates to talk openly, so the most important prerequisite for conducting 1on1 meetings is to build a relationship of trust between superiors and subordinates.
It is important that your subordinates feel glad that they spoke after the meeting has ended, so it is a good idea to continue with effective measures, such as by conducting surveys regarding 1on1 meetings.
