Your One to One

Your weekly or bi-weekly (depending on your preference) one to one with your manager is one of the most important parts of your week in Ceataec. You should be speaking with your manager on a daily basis but having this time set aside allows for topics to be discussed that can easily be overlooked in daily conversation.

Purpose of your One to One​

  • Time to give and receive feedback
  • Not only reserved for work matters. Talking about life outside of work is also strongly encouraged.
  • It's encouraged to keep a list through the week on anything that pops up that you think would be good to talk to your manager about.
  • A manager will never cancel this meeting (possibly move it) although you are welcome to cancel it if you don't want it on a certain occasion.

Personal Development Plan​

Everyone in Ceataec will hold a personal development plan between them and their direct manager. This is a super simple plan that helps facilitate proactive discussions on how Ceataec can help you learn and try new things.

The format for this is as follows and will be followed up on in at least one of your one to ones every month. We expect this to change a lot over time but just having this written down facilitates great development conversations between you and your manager
