Overview

Betterworks 1:1s gives managers and employees a shared workspace for one-on-one meetings: a joint agenda, side-by-side view of relevant goals, note taking, and action-item tracking that roll over between meetings so conversations stay focused, decisions are recorded, and follow-up is visible to both participants. Calendar integration and nudges help both sides prepare and keep recurring cadences consistent, improving alignment and coaching across the organization.
