🏡 Create a new "Team" for your direct reports here.

📯 Make a personal announcement to your direct reports. You want your direct reports to feel excited about KYT – not "another thing" that they feel obligated to use. To get folks eager to use KYT, you'll want to make a personal announcement to your direct reports about KYT – how it's something you've found useful for you as a manager, and you wanted to give them the option to use it to help support them.

❄️ Make sure the Icebreakers are turned ON if you want your team to get to know each other initially. We highly recommend turning on the Icebreakers, and editing the questions so they're personalized for your team. To customize your Icebreaker questions, you can click on "Icebreakers" in the left-hand nav, and then click the link to customize your Icebreaker questions:

🧢 Add each of your direct reports into KYT here, ensure they are assigned to your team. You can designate them either as an "Employee" or as a "Manager." As an Employee, they'll be able to participate fully in KYT, but not manage any of the tools. As a Manager, they'll have the ability to hold 1:1 meetings with their own team, run Heartbeat Check-ins, etc. Keep in mind that all private notes and 1:1 notes + agendas are private, you won't have to worry about them viewing your own private notes, 1:1 notes, etc.

💯 Invest in your 1:1 Meetings. I might suggest is using our One-on-Ones Tool for your next 1:1 meeting, so you can take advantage of our agenda templates + 100+ suggested questions. Here's a walkthrough of our One-on-Ones Tool.

☀️ Build trust with our Social Questions. I'd then recommend trying our Social Questions, which help team members discover unlikely connections about each other. You'll find that the 300+ questions we offer are non-cheesy, engaging, and encourage quite a bit of dialogue. Here's a walkthrough of our Social Questions.

❤️ Align your team with our Heartbeat Check-in. If you're looking to get your team all on the same page, you'll want to turn on the Heartbeat Check-in. It'll ask via Slack or email "What's your #1 focus?" every week (or ask "What did you work on yesterday + what will you work on today?" every day to your team). Here's a walkthrough of our Heartbeat Check-in.
