Only the two of you. Not your colleagues, not your manager's manager, and not HR — there is no view anywhere in ASHR.work that lists somebody else's 1:1s, and the database refuses the read rather than the screen simply hiding it.

Can I schedule a 1:1 with anyone?

No. A 1:1 runs between one person and somebody who reports to them, directly or further down the line. That covers skip-levels. If you cannot find someone in the list, the reporting line in the directory is what decides it, and HR can correct it.

Does it repeat automatically?

Not yet. Each 1:1 is its own conversation, and after one is done the page offers to schedule the next one a week on. Automatic recurring schedules and reminders are on the list.

What happens to action items nobody ticked off?

They show up on your next 1:1 with that person, under "Still open from before". They are not copied — there is one of each, wherever you tick it off.

Yes, while it is still scheduled, and you can say why. Everything written on it is kept and nothing more can be added. A 1:1 is never deleted, so the record that you had one in the diary survives.

Can I link a 1:1 to a goal?

If your organisation also has Goals & OKRs switched on, a talking point can point at one of your objectives or one of theirs — whichever you could already see in Goals. If Goals is off, the option is simply not there.

How do I run a 1:1 in ASHR.work?

What a 1:1 is here

A 1:1 in ASHR.work is one conversation between exactly two people: somebody and someone who reports to them. It holds three things.

Talking points are the shared agenda. Both of you can add to it before the conversation, which is the whole reason to write one down — a 1:1 where each person finds out what the other wanted to discuss halfway through is a status update with extra steps.

Action items are what you each said you would do. Every action item names one of you, and either of you can tick it off. That is deliberate: if only the person who typed it could close it, the one actually doing the work would have to go and ask.

Notes are what was said, and anything worth remembering. A note can be shared, or private to you — see Private notes in a 1:1.

Either of you can schedule it

Managers are not the only ones who get to book time. A report asking for a conversation with their manager is the most useful thing this module does, so both sides see the same Schedule a 1:1 button and the same list of people.

The list is your reporting line and nothing else — the people who report to you (at any depth, so skip-levels work) and your own manager. It is read live from the directory each time, so a change to the org chart shows up immediately.

Nothing carries over except what is unfinished

When you open a 1:1, any action items from your earlier conversations with that same person that nobody has ticked off appear at the top, under Still open from before. They are not copies. There is one row per action item, on the 1:1 it was written in, so ticking it off anywhere ticks it off everywhere and you can never end up with two versions of the same commitment disagreeing.

Once it is done, it stays done

Marking a 1:1 as done, or cancelling it, is final. That is on purpose: the point of writing a conversation down is that the record of it is not rewritten afterwards. You can still add notes to a completed 1:1 — people usually write them up straight after — but you cannot reopen it and you cannot delete it.

Who can read my private notes in a 1:1?
Only you. A note you mark as private to yourself is invisible to the other person in the 1:1, to your manager, and to HR — the database refuses the read, not just the screen.
