One-on-one meetings are beneficial for maintaining open lines of communication between employees, managers, and mentors. Employment Hero's one-on-one feature allows individuals, regardless of their role, to seek feedback or guidance.
1:1s are private between the two parties involved, with no restrictions based on management lines. Therefore, if your manager changes, then a new 1:1 session between the two new parties will need creating and the new manager will be unable to access any previous 1:1 session information.
