The Echometer one-to-one meeting software helps managers to accelerate the development of their employees through the following everyday functions:

• Hashtags: Making recurring topics recognizable and tracking long-term employee goals
• Check-ins: Quantitative assessment of any factors relating to the employee’s performance or development (including self-assessment)
• AI coach: Based on the transcript of the one-on-one meetings, managers receive tips and advice on how they can coach their employees even better and involve them in the conversation.

Yes, with the Echometer 1-to-1 meeting software app you can track employee performance and goal achievement:

• Check-in surveys can be used to measure the performance of employees (based on subjective statements). The assessment can be carried out during the one-to-one meeting (or even before) as a self-assessment by both the employee and the manager. The assessment can then be reflected on together in the one-to-one meeting.
• Todos and action items for goal tracking and employee performance development can also be recorded in the one-on-one meeting notes.
• You can also use hashtags in the one-on-one meeting notes to record and track qualitative progress towards employee goals. For example, you can use the hashtag on a measure to assign this measure to the employee goal.

Yes, in the Echometer one-to-one meeting software, both the manager and the employee can create and manage actions and tasks. For each new one-to-one meeting, the outstanding tasks from previous meetings are displayed.

Compared to other software apps for one-on-one meetings, the following functions are unique:

• While other tools such as Granola are limited to the AI summary, Echometer also uses the transcript for the integrated AI coach for managers
• In addition, the check-ins (i.e. statements with a scale answer) are a unique function in their concrete implementation in Echometer: employees can answer the statements before or during the 1:1 meetings and then trends are automatically created from the answers.
• Integration with software for team retrospectives: Echometer is the only tool on the market that integrates software for agile retrospectives alongside the one-to-one meeting software and thus offers all tools for the essential management tasks in agile remote teams from a single source.

The following are confirmed, independent statements from customers and users of the Echometer one-to-one meeting software:

• Joël Vierboom, Agile Coach & Team Coach at JTL-Software GmbH: “The software has paid for itself super quickly by saving me many hours of work. I hold a lot of 1-1 meetings and the tool has taken them to a new level in terms of efficiency and productivity!”

• Michael Engel, Team Lead IT: “It’s annoying when you have to switch tools for every 1:1 meeting. Since I’ve been using Echometer, that has changed - and I even have an overview of the development trends of individual employees. Highly recommended tool!”

• Ronny Engel, Team Lead Development IoT at SMF GmbH: “I’m thrilled! More structure in our 1:1s, better discussions and ultimately more progress. Props to the Echometer team!”

• Matt Alioto, Director of Engineering at Smyl Fitness: “One of the things that my own boss has done to support me, is get me a communications coach. And I actually had a meeting with her a couple of days ago and I showed her this [Echometer] feature, and it blew her mind, absolutely.”

• Monthly 29€ per manager with an annual subscription, or
