Check-ins & Snapshots - Managers
CHECK-INS
Check-Ins are discussions between individuals and managers to review ongoing goals, performance, development, and engagement.
Why this Moment Matters
Living Syensqo's Performance Culture means engaging in regular dialogue with each employee about their targets and performance. During check-in conversations, think about how can the bar 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.
You should also find ways to engage with your team members, know what is happening with them and support them accordingly.
At the same time, you should not 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.
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.
