Line managers help others to learn and grow, deliver great results, and progress their careers.
People who report to a line manager are called "direct reports".
This guidance isn't complete yet. If you need help, ask:
- the people team (#team-people on Slack)
- the line manager community (#supply-learning-line-managers on Slack)
- Yasemin Ercan, our Head of People
Hold regular 121 (one-to-one) meetings, at least once a month.
Help your direct reports to pass their probation period. Work with the Market Principal to extend or fail probations, if necessary.

Hold a review once a year, reflecting on the year's highlights and challenges. This usually includes a salary review. This may include setting goals or themes for the coming year.
