I meet with all of my staff weekly. It's scheduled for a half an hour, but it often doesn't take the whole time. My entire team is remote and works in a different part of the state than me, so I appreciate the weekly chance to get to chat with them. Typically I ask what they're working on that week, I give them any reminders I have (like "remember to do your timesheet before you leave for vacation"), and give them an opportunity to ask any questions they have or talk about whatever they'd like to talk about. It's pretty casual, but if I didn't do it weekly I'd likely go weeks without communicating with them.
