Regional asks what you discussed. Have more than a recollection.

Key takeaways

  1. Regional asks what you discussed. Have more than a recollection.
  2. A procedure coaching moment, a strong referral, and a promise to sit with a new teller can all vanish into a busy lobby. Weeks later, you may need each detail.
  3. Typical coaching patterns here include Procedure coaching, attendance, service behavior, commitments, and recognition. Do not store account numbers or customer financial details in a coaching note.
  4. Meetings to prep include Morning huddle, a 1:1 in the office, and a weekly meeting with the regional manager.
  5. A useful note names the person, the fact, and the commitment, and it links back to that saved record.
  6. A procedure coaching moment, a strong referral, and a promise to sit with a new teller can all vanish into a busy lobby.

A procedure coaching moment, a strong referral, and a promise to sit with a new teller can all vanish into a busy lobby. Weeks later, you may need each detail.

Record your own account of employee coaching and recognition after the conversation. Keep the follow-ups with the person and customer financial information in approved banking systems.

How a manager uses it

  1. Something happens and you record it before the next interruption.
  2. You confirm the person.
  3. The note sits on their timeline with the commitment you actually made.
  4. Before a 1:1, huddle, or HR conversation, Prep Me and HR Ready list those source notes.
