3Q Check-ins: How to Pay Attention to the People You Can’t Afford to Lose
3Q CHECK-INS ARE SIMPLY THE BEST EMPLOYEE CHECK-INS ON PLANET EARTH
If you manage people, dream with us for a moment. What if…
You had a way to hang on to the employees you really want to keep…You had a way to spot a bad hire in their first 60 - 90 days…You could minimize the drama in your interactions with direct reports (and teach them how to do the same with the people they supervise…You had a way to predict who could improve if you invested a little more time in them…Your interactions with workers weren’t always focused around urgent problems or near term planning…You could distribute your attention to your entire organization through your direct reports…You could take the guesswork out of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging…You knew exactly where, among those who report to you and those who report to them, to look for innovation and business intelligence…You could spot relational brushfires before they became wildfires…You had real time data that made performance reviews meaningful…You could restore humanity to the workplace…And what if you could accomplish all that in one 15-minute check-in a month with each direct report.
3Q Check-ins deliver these results with a clear, simple, structured way to pay attention — 12 months a year, every year — so you can hang on to more of the people you can’t afford to lose.
Nobody has to fake it
It’s no secret your Chief Engineer (CFO, CIO, Procurement Manager, Head Chef…) is not a people person. They don’t have to be — they were hired for their hard skills. But if their deficit in soft skills is costing you money because nothing about managing people comes easy for them (whether they know that or not) it’s OK … there’s a way to fix that. They don’t have to change, and you don’t have to keep apologizing for them.
Weak supervisor/employee connections are far more likely to result from poor tools than bad faith or a failure of will. Give your managers a better tool and they’ll do a better job.
3Q Check-ins are a simple, structured, consistent tool for anyone who's responsible for leading, supervising, developing, and assessing the performance of employees, contractors, mentees, volunteers — whoever reports to them.
Humane Resources founders, Jim Henderson + Jim Hancock, came to believe that leaders would pay more attention to employees…
if they could see how paying attention pays for itself, andif they had a concrete, actionable, plan for substantive, consistent, affordable employee check-insThat’s why 3Q Check-ins are designed so they do pay for themselves … and it’s why they’re designed to integrate, quickly and effectively, just about anywhere — in monthly 15-minute Check-ins between supervisors and their direct reports.
Now, after half-a-dozen years of design, field testing, and refinement, 3Q How to pay attention to the people you can’t afford to lose is square-one on a path to simpler, more direct, more effective check-ins from top to bottom in your organization.
If employee check-ins were easy, everyone would do them. Now they are.
