An overview of Check-ins
What are Check-ins?
A check-in is an update from an employee on their work progress. Employees can, for example, enter updates of their goals/OKRs in a weekly cycle, comment on them and also answer various questions, such as:
- What did you work on last week?
- What are your priorities for this week?
Why should you use Check-ins?
