At Breathe, we understand how important one-to-ones are to an employee's personal and professional development. We thought we'd give you a helping hand by exploring how to make the most of our employee-performance feature.
Start the one-to-one process by setting the frequency of meetings. Although we've seen impressive results with weekly appraisals, you can choose daily, weekly or monthly one-to-one reminders using the performance tab on each employee's profile.
To access the one-to-ones module, head to:
Employees profile > Performance > One to ones > + (blue plus icon)
Select your preferred date and time from the calendar and then choose the type of meeting, who the meeting is with (Reviewer), the Location of the meeting and choose if it will be a recurring meeting...
Like any calendar appointment, these meetings are not set in stone. If you need to amend an employee one-to-one, simply select the edit (pencil) icon in the tab bar, as shown below.
Here's a rundown of the icons under the actions header and what they do...
Add the one-to-one to an internet calendar
Edit the one-to-one, make notes, etc

Delete the one-to-one
Can employees request their own one-to-ones?
Your people can request one to ones from their personal dashboard (not their profiles) if the setting has been enabled for them to do so via Configure > Settings > Change what people can see and do > Request one to ones.
Please note, they can only request one to ones if they do not already have any scheduled. If they do, their line manager or a HR user will need to book this in for them.
Do line managers receive reminder emails for their employee's one to one's?
Line managers will receive an email if a one to one is requested by one of their employees, but they won't receive a reminder email.
We'd advise using our notes and reminders feature if you'd like to set up a reminder:
