Phrasal verb: Touch base

To touch base with someone is to communicate with them about the status of a project or other question. Here are some examples:


  • Voicemail message: Hi! This is Miriam. I'm just calling to touch base with you about the meeting next week. Do you have everything you need? If not, just call me back.

  • In a meeting: I want to touch base with everyone about the new provider and make sure that we're getting the service we need. Do you have any feedback?

  • An email: Hi Bob, I want to touch base with you about the training for the new staff. How is everything going?
