Supervisors: Discover the new questions and prompts in the Support Meeting App available on June 21

Thank you to the over 200 of you using the Support Meeting App Tool to document your support meetings as you coach your team members. For reference, here’s the link (VPN required).

We’ve heard feedback that the questions needed to be refined to better meet your needs. I’m excited to let you know that the questions and prompts will be updated effective tomorrow morning (Friday, June 21, 2024, at 9:00 am). If you use the tool around this time, you may notice that it is not accessible.

This tool is for all supervisors. We heard from team members that they wanted to meet with their supervisors regularly, for coaching and feedback, and this tool will help us ensure that all of us who are supervisors are investing in our teams. This tool will help to guide our coaching as we work and lead together within Karis. Additionally, there is a dashboard that is available to supervisors that will show which employees have a completed support meeting each quarter. It will also help you see which employees you still need to meet with.

Supervisors can access the dashboard through this link.  

Here are the questions, for your reference: 

  1. In the context of your work, what’s going well? Successes, achievements, progress, learning. 
  2. What work has been accomplished or completed since our last meeting? 
  3. What work has been being done toward personal/team goals? 
  4. What is yet to be completed or in progress? 
  5. Are there any challenges or frustrations, things taking up a lot of your time? 
  6. What next steps can be taken to work through these? How can I or others support next steps? 
  7. How are relationships going with those you interact with? Any communication challenges? Is support needed? 
  8. Are there any other areas of your work that you need help with/training for? 
  9. Any other updates relating to your work: (this section is for anything else that needs to be discussed and noted). 

Thank you, supervisors, for your commitment to serve others by meeting with your team members regularly.   

Thank you, team members, for your commitment to fostering belonging and wanting to hear from your supervisors.   

Sincerely,  

Dwayne Milley
Vice President of Operations
