Job Chat Coach
Free Job Chat Coach for Hospitality Managers
Prepare for better employee performance and development conversations with interactive, practical guidance
You know you need to have a conversation with an employee.
Perhaps their performance needs to improve. Maybe you want to talk about their development. Or it could simply be time for a constructive Job Chat about how things are going and what happens next.
The difficult bit is often knowing where to start, what to ask and how to structure the conversation so that something useful comes out of it.
That’s exactly what the free FGHR Job Chat Coach is designed to help with.
Answer a few questions about your situation and the Coach will help you prepare for the conversation you need to have.

The Job Chat Coach asks you the questions.
Tell it what your Job Chat is about and it will guide you through a series of simple questions to understand your situation.
- What do you want to achieve?
- What development area matters most?
- What evidence do you have?
- What support might be needed?
Your answers shape what happens next.
That means two managers using the Coach could receive different guidance because they’re dealing with different circumstances.
Instead of reading pages of generic HR advice and trying to work out what applies, you can work through your own situation, one step at a time
See how the Job Chat Coach works
Imagine you need to talk to an employee whose performance needs to improve.
And this is where it gets useful.
Based on those answers, the Coach identifies that your performance concerns are mainly general observations.
Before you start setting improvement objectives, it recommends gathering some specific, observable examples so that your Job Chat is based on evidence rather than labels or impressions.
In other words, it doesn’t just give you a script.
It helps you think through the conversation before you have it.
Built around the FGHR Meeting Jigsaw
The Job Chat Coach uses our simple four-stage FGHR Meeting Jigsaw to help managers have balanced, positive and purposeful conversations.
1. What is good?
Start positively. Recognise what is working and what the employee is doing well.
2. Where are we now?
Look clearly and objectively at the current situation.
3. Where do we want to be?
Agree what needs to change, improve or develop.
4. How are we going to get there?
Turn the conversation into practical actions, support and next steps.
The Coach helps you work through this structure using the information you give it.
What will the Job Chat Coach help me with?
Use the Coach to:
- Prepare for a routine Job Chat with an employee
- Turn your notes into a balanced FGHR Meeting Jigsaw plan
- Create useful questions about performance and development
- Think through the evidence and information you need
- Create a practical action plan
- Draft your follow-up email or meeting notes
- Recognise when a situation may need HR support
The Coach won’t have the conversation for you.
It will help you feel much better prepared to have it.
Practical support for busy hospitality managers
People conversations don’t always happen at convenient times in hospitality.
You might be managing a busy hotel, running a pub, overseeing a coffee shop or dealing with an issue that has cropped up halfway through a shift.
You know a conversation needs to happen, but you may not have an HR person sitting next to you to help you prepare for it.
And putting the conversation off rarely makes the issue easier.
The FGHR Job Chat Coach gives you a practical place to start.
It helps you gather your thoughts, work out what matters and put some structure around what you need to say and ask.
So you can move from:
“How on earth do I approach this?”
to:
“Right. I know what I need to talk about.”

A quick note before you use the Coach
The FGHR Job Chat Coach is designed to help managers prepare, structure their thinking and have better employee conversations.
It does not replace professional HR or legal advice.
Some situations are more complex than they first appear. The Coach is designed to identify when HR support may be needed so you can get advice before taking things further.
