Your people's growth and performance shouldn't depend on which manager they got.

Some managers run great 1:1s. Most are winging it. No agenda, no follow-through, and nothing tied to goals, performance, or the work getting done. So conversations skip from topic to topic, vital updates slip through the cracks, and when review time comes round, it's the last few weeks that get remembered, not the whole year. An employee's growth comes down to luck, and HR has no way to see it or fix it.

If someone is doing really well, we look to their goals and manager notes to support that. If someone is struggling, it's the first place we go to understand what's happening.

FAQs

What is 1:1 meeting software?

1:1 meeting software — also called one on one meeting software or 1 on 1 meeting software — helps managers and their reports run recurring one-on-one conversations: shared agendas, talking points, notes, and follow-ups in one place. Zensai runs 1 on 1 meeting software inside Microsoft 365 and connects each 1:1 to goalzs and reviews, so conversations drive continuous performance instead of disappearing.

What are the benefits of 1:1 meeting software?

A consistent cadence of conversations, shared history so nothing gets re-litigated, and continuous feedback that replaces the annual scramble — so regular manager updates and follow-through become something HR can actually see, instead of 1:1s that happen privately and connect to nothing.

How is this different from just using the Teams or Outlook calendar?

A calendar invite gets you in the room; it doesn’t carry the agenda, notes, goals, or what you agreed last time. Zensai adds the structure — shared talking points, history, and links to goals and reviews — inside the Teams and Outlook your people already use for their one-on-ones.

Do 1:1 notes stay private?

Shared agenda items and notes are visible to both people in the 1:1; private notes stay private to the person who wrote them. Everything is handled inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant, under the controls your IT team already runs.

How does it compare to a standalone platform like Lattice or 15Five?

Dedicated check-in platforms run as a separate system you integrate and govern. Zensai’s difference is connection: 1:1s, check-ins, goals, reviews, and learning live in one platform inside Microsoft 365, so a conversation feeds the bigger performance picture — and there’s no extra tool for IT to secure.

What’s the difference between 1:1s and your check-in software?

They’re sister tools on one platform. 1:1 meeting software runs structured one-on-one meetings — agendas, talking points, notes, and history. Employee check-in software runs lightweight, recurring check-ins that give a quick read on how people are doing and feed the Human Success Score. Many teams use both — the 1:1 for the conversation, the check-in for the pulse in between.

Does the AI run or write the 1:1?

No. The AI can draft a suggested agenda from recent goals and your last 1:1 — a starting point. The manager decides what to discuss and what matters; the conversation stays theirs. The AI does a named job, with a human in control.

Which edition includes 1:1s?

Structured conversations — 1:1s, 30/60/90 check-ins, career development conversations, end-of-year reviews, and more — are included in the Scale edition of the Zensai Platform, alongside OKR and goal management, continuous reviews, and 360° feedback. Transform adds engagement and the full Human Success Score on top.

Do we need to replace our HRIS?

No. Zensai reads org and people data from Entra ID and connects to 80+ HRIS systems, including Workday and SAP — so reporting lines stay current and each manager’s 1:1s map to the right team automatically.

Will managers actually keep doing them?

Because 1:1s run on a regular cadence inside Teams — where managers already work — and an AI-drafted agenda removes the prep, the friction that usually kills 1:1s is gone. Managers keep going when it’s easy and the conversation obviously connects to goals.
