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.
Getting started

Helpful Hint
Use the Frequency field to determine how often, if ever, the 1:1 session repeats.
You can select a standard interval (Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly, Quarterly, Half-yearly, or Yearly) or select Does not repeat.
If you want to set your own, non-standard frequency, select Custom... to reveal two additional fields. Use these fields to set your own preference (for example, 'Repeats every 3 weeks on Friday').
