Weekly check-in guide
Fifteen minutes, at the same time each week. Let the employee speak first, and write down anything you agree.
Tip: print this page or copy the text into your own document.
- What has gone well this week?
- What has been difficult or confusing?
- Are the agreed adjustments working? Is anything missing?
- How do the workload, pace and hours feel?
- Is there anything you would like to learn or practise more?
- How are things with the team and your buddy?
- What is one thing I can do to help next week?
- What have we agreed, and who will do what?
