Five minutes with Tom, every week.
This conversation belongs to the employee. The manager can’t get to it, and neither can HR. Nothing goes further without a yes.

How are you, really?
Honestly? It’s been rough.
EmployeeShall I put that on the agenda for your 1:1?

Every line is a conversation.
126 people, 125 conversations, every week. Tom shows up wherever a conversation happens and gets it ready for everyone. The colour of a line is how it feels, read from what was said. Never who said what.

Hoi Sanne. How was your week?
Rough. Three on-call shifts in a row.
Want to take that to your 1:1 with your manager?
Yes, put it on the agenda.
Manager · Wednesday 16:10
The manager prepares too.
What the manager prepares stays the manager’s. The employee can’t see it, and Tom shares nothing without a yes.

- A tip, just for the manager
- The employee doesn’t see this
Hoi Lotte. Your 1:1 with Sanne is tomorrow. What do you want to talk about?
The PLC training. And how she’s really doing.
Tip: start with an open question before you get to the schedule.
Good idea.
