Explaining recommended talking points in 1:1s and how managers can use them

What are recommended talking points?

Recommended talking points are conversation starters for managers to add to their 1:1 meetings with their direct reports. The recommendations are drawn from a list of questions that are proven to drive employee <> manager alignment and improve employee engagement.

Note: Recommended talking points for managers can only be used by managers in 1:1 relationships with their direct reports. Lattice provides direct reports with their own list of recommended talking points, which you can view here.

Turn on recommended talking points

  1. Navigate to 1:1s > Select a direct report's name to enter the 1:1 relationship

  2. Select Settings in the meeting modal

  3. Use the toggle button to enable recommended talking points

  4. Save.

Add recommended talking points to your 1:1

When you navigate to your 1:1 for your direct report after following the steps above, you will see the recommended talking points in a box called Suggested talking points beneath the agenda.

From there, you can:

  • Select themes (examples include: Belonging, Job Satisfaction, and more) to reveal new questions

  • Use the Shuffle button to cycle through the questions in the selected theme

  • Use the Add to agenda button to pull the displayed question into your meeting
