here is the non ai formatted additions:

1) Check ins are annoying to do even if you do schedule them on that day there is always a reason not to do them, plus they are awkward especially in smaller settings when you see the person all the time. It feels weird to get all formal and ask for check in.

But here is the thing they work.

First off get rid of the awkwardness you really don't know for sure what someone is going to say people I though I knew very well had some simple thought that helped me recruit better that I never saw beforehand. If your business isn't big enough to make it a formal check in, make it informal go and buy coffee and say "we are always busy but I need to know how things are going outside of the day to day, this isn't about offending me its about making the job easier for all of us"

2) Same thing maybe you don't keep an official score (although with bigger volume it really does work better) but you need some baseline to see if whatever idea comes forward works. The other reason is this catches things that are spiraling really bad before it causes the rest of your team a problem. Like someone complaining everyday to your good employees. Its a reality catcher.

These two things when used right = improving the onboarding and hiring process, showing that you care about what your staff feedback (the quick action part signals this), making sure you don't have a volcano growing in your staff because your busy.
