Line Management Covenant

Logistics

  • Under current COVID regulations (13/12/21) all meetings will be held virtually via teams.
  • 1-2-1s will be usually be scheduled fortnightly (probationary period or personal preference may mean this is more or less often. Details can be found in the New Joiners Guidance).
  • 1-2-1s will be scheduled no less frequently than monthly.
  • 1-2-1s should usually last between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
  • You are responsible for scheduling 1-2-1s. They should be scheduled to occur on a regular basis.

Cancellations

  • As much notice should be given if one of us needs to cancel a scheduled meeting. Where possible we will give at least 48 hours notice but it is accepted that there will be occasions where short notice cancellations are unavoidable.
  • If one of us has to cancel a scheduled meeting, that person is responsible for rescheduling the meeting (if necessary).

  • You will complete the 1-2-1 form at least 24 hours prior to any scheduled 1-2-1 and e-mail it to me.
