Personally I think this is a failure in company culture. One on one's should be done face to face. Also if you're not cultivating a company culture where your reports can't speak up on anything with out retribution or fear, then something is wrong. I don't think this tool helps.

With that being said, looking at your landing page, its really hard to figure out how this works.

I agree with you that F2F 1:1s meetings should not be replaced, when possible.

However, there are many benefits of doing Weekly Check-ins:

- Many teams work remotely nowadays, with different time zones. It can be tricky to find a regular time for the 1-1s.

- Some people prefer async communication instead of face-to-face meetings. Meetings kill productivity.

- Managers and team members have everything documented and linked to actions through the time so effective follow-ups can be done.

Regarding the landing page, we're working on making a few videos to explain better how Steer works. Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Many thanks for the feedback.
