The 1-1 Tabs
Agenda
The Agenda tab is tied to the current week. Make notes of what you'd like to discuss during your meeting with your supervisor or direct report. Lead your meeting and use your agenda to guide the discussion. Use the Suggestions link to check out some conversation starters.
Note: Inspire allows you to plan well in advance. Use the right arrow to navigate through the weeks seamlessly.
Conversations
Use the Conversations tab to start, or continue, a conversation with your supervisor or direct report as you work toward your goals. The Suggestions link can be used for ideas to help you have a productive conversation.
TIP: The Agenda and Conversations tabs include Suggestions links. Use the link to select prompts for agenda topics or conversations starters. Select the green + next to a suggestion to add it to your agenda or conversation. Add as many as you need.
Feedback
Unlike traditional performance reviews, consistent frequent feedback provides highly relevant, in-the-moment guidance. With CFRs, leaders at all levels have the opportunity to evaluate progress toward OKRs and goals, guide themselves and others toward future improvement, meet their moment-to-moment needs, and stay accountable for their work.
Use Feedback to request or review feedback from your supervisor.
Recognition
Authentic, real-time, specific recognition is a critical component in cultivating a culture of gratitude and has the added benefit of boosting engagement, morale, and retention. Making recognition part of your organization's collaboration and performance process — where not just supervisors, but everyone - leaders at all levels - feel empowered to shout out their colleagues' successes — helps build a sense of belonging and mutual support.
Use Recognition to review any recognition you have received.
Conversations per Objective:
Select the Conversation within the Objective to post a conversation with your leader about the Objective. Your leader will receive a notification once you submit.
