Check-ins & Snapshots - Managers
CHECK-INS
Check-ins are regular discussions between individuals and managers to review
- The individual’s performance and behaviors (both what and how they deliver)
- Development actions that could improve performance and help them reach their career ambitions.
During check-in conversations:
- Explore how the bar can be raised. What would help the employee to go beyond and above? For the employee, this is about growing, being recognized, and understanding whether they’re on the right track.
- Find ways to engage with your team members, know what is happening with them and how you can support them accordingly.
- Don’t shy away from giving honest feedback. While some feedback might be difficult to hear at first, given in a constructive way and in the right context, it can serve as a necessary and true step towards growth.
How often should Check-Ins occur?
Employees should set up check-in discussions with their Manager at least once per quarter.
How should I assess the employee on behaviors?
As part of the check-in, employees have the ability to rate themselves against Syensqo’s behaviors.
As the manager, your assessment, alongside the employee’s self-assessment, is meant to encourage reflection and create more meaningful, two-way conversations about how they demonstrate our behaviors. Read more about Syensqo’s levels of performance here.
SNAPSHOTS
The Snapshot is the summary of every check-in, prepared by the Manager, and captured in the Performance tool in My HR Services. Snapshots are comprehensive overviews of an individual’s performance, behaviors, development, and potential.
When prepared properly, the snapshot provides honest, direct feedback to the individual and avoids surprises at the Year-end Assessment.
