Employees desire performance feedback from their supervisor; not just a "good job" or "you can do better" every now and then; informal or formal, we all want meaningful and cyclical appraisal.  Think about it. . .don't you want to know what your boss thinks about your performance?

If you are lucky enough to have a supervisor that balances praise with improvement tips, don't assume other employees are so lucky...

Requiring managers to have a periodic one on one, informal employee performance review with each direct reports is one of best things you can do to boost performance and morale.

Employee University Trivia about this video.

• 1 on 1 originally included the scene from Building Employee Morale: Missed Opportunities; in 1 on 1, the scene was called "The Meets Problem."  Focus groups said that 1 on 1 was too long, so the "Meets Problem" scene was cut from that program to shorten from 42 minutes to 27 minutes. The DVD DOES include an "Extended Version" that still has the "Meets Problem" scene edited in as originally planned.

• Darin Hanks, who wrote the "Meets Problem" script knew the content in the scene was meaningful and unique; he hated seeing it left on the cutting room floor.  He kept asking:  "Wouldn't you want YOUR manager to see this scene?!  He convinced all involved in the production to edit the "Meets Problem" scene into it's own program, and selling it under the title:  Building Employee Morale: Missed Opportunities  . . .it continues to be one of Employee University's best sellers.

• The Actor playing Jim, the senior manager in this scene, was not the actor originally cast.  When the original actor (a man with an impressive Hollywood resume) showed up without having memorized his lines, he was fired.  We had to shoot other scenes that day that did not include "Jim" while we called other actors who had auditioned for the part.  Larry Bergeron was asked to come in to play Jim and do the part with literally less than 24 hours notice!  Not bad eh?
