# Can I use Empatyzer even if we do not run formal one-to-ones?

Yes. You can use Empatyzer before any important conversation, whatever its format, so formal one-to-ones are not required.

You can ask Em before an ad-hoc check-in, a corridor conversation, a difficult message or a feedback moment. Em is available around the clock in a browser, also on a phone, and preparing a short conversation takes a few minutes. Micro-lessons arrive twice a week whatever meeting rhythm your team has.
