Whether you're new to the team or it's new to you, the first round of 1-on-1s sets the tone. Attuned maps what drives each person in 10 minutes, so you walk in knowing what to ask and what their answers actually mean.
A meeting lands on the calendar with no context. You both make polite small talk and learn nothing worth keeping.
You hear "we should align" as caution when it's a request for feedback. The misread starts on day one, and you don't notice.
People size you up fast and decide whether to be straight with you. Fumble the first round and you spend months catching up.
How a team really works is mostly invisible at first. Urban planners have a name for the shortcuts people wear into the grass instead of taking the paved path: desire paths. Every team has them too, the way work actually moves, which the org chart never shows. Your first 1-on-1s are how you start to see those paths, and Attuned hands you the map sooner.
Great managers develop a feel for a new team through dozens of careful first conversations. We took apart what they're actually doing in those conversations, and built Attuned to do the hard part for you: see what drives each person before you ever sit down.
The same behavior might mean opposite things to different people. Quiet can be agreement or it can be alarm. New to a team, you have no way to tell which, so you read everyone through your own instincts.
Attuned maps each person's 11 intrinsic motivators in 10 minutes, so you arrive knowing what's behind their behavior and you stop guessing.
The managers who do this well show up with a goal for every conversation. Most people don't have the context yet, so the meeting drifts into pleasantries and nothing worth keeping comes out of it.
Attuned gives you a per-person brief, their motivators plus an opener that fits, right from your calendar. Every 1-on-1 starts with a point.
The real work runs through informal power brokers and projects everyone wants but no one owns. Strong operators spend weeks uncovering that map by hand. It's invisible on paper.
As you map each person, Attuned builds the real picture of the team: who's driven by what, and where energy and friction actually sit.
One person wants room to run, the next wants steady feedback, another just wants to feel secure. Manage them all the same in the first weeks and you lose someone before you've really started.
Attuned shows the gap between your motivators and theirs, so you adapt your approach and deliver an early win that actually lands.
A motivator profile for every person, an AI coach that turns it into language, and a calendar that puts it in front of you at the right moment.
Describe the person and the situation. Attuned compares their motivators with yours and writes you a specific opener, one that fits how they think, not just a generic question. Use it as-is or tweak it.
Autonomy, progress, status, security, feedback and more. A 10-minute assessment, grounded in motivation science.
See where your instincts and their drivers don't match, so you don't walk in and manage them the way you'd want to be managed.
Google and Outlook. Click into any 1-on-1 and Attuned surfaces that person's motivators and a few starter questions.
See everyone's motivators together, spot where trust is thin, and catch disengagement before it becomes a resignation.
Two profiles side by side, the per-motivator tip on the left, and starter questions tuned to that person on the right. This is what you see before you walk into the first 1-on-1.
Send it in week 1, when nobody's busy yet. You get a motivator profile for each person, next to your own.
Attuned hands you the person's motivators and an opener that fits, straight from your calendar.
You arrive with the right question, not a blank stare. People open up early, and the picture of who you're working with comes together in days, not months.
Attuned helps establish a shared language and rapport between the new employee and their manager. Rather than spending months working through surface-level conversations, this allows a connection to develop more quickly.
Our organization is focused on raising the level of engagement with our employees. And we recognize the connections between Psychological Safety, employee engagement, and innovation. Attuned's assessment provides the in-depth data we need to track growth year after year.
Bring the team you're about to meet, or the one you just inherited. In 20 minutes we'll show you what Attuned says about the first 1-on-1 with each person, on your screen.
