Why are personal Motivators (e.g. partner) included? How can I support my direct report?
When employees select Motivators that are most important to them, it helps you as a manager quickly figure out what makes them 'tick'. Understanding what's important to the employee will help you focus on having the best conversations to help the employee perform at their best.
An employee's motivation and performance at work are influenced by many different factors, both inside and outside of work. Discussing an employee's personal Motivators helps you understand the individual more fully building a better and more trusted relationship. As a manager you should encourage your direct reports to spend some time defining the reason why they chose that particular Motivator - their 'Goal'.
Not all employees will feel comfortable or will want to discuss their personal life with you. One of the principles of OpenBlend is that 1:1s can be employee-led, meaning the employee is empowered to share as much or as little as they wish to about their personal life.
Who is responsible for organising the sessions?
Both you and your direct report can arrange a 1:1 session, but it is ultimately the managers responsibility to make sure they take place.
Who is able to see the information held in OpenBlend?
As a manager you can see your employees profiles. Leaders of departments can see team statistics and progress of objectives. Admins can see detailed data such as 1:1s, trends of Motivators and Wellbeing as well as Objectives by manager and across the organisation.
