One-on-One Meeting Questions Template: Work-Life Balance

‍So much has been written about the benefits of a healthy work-life balance and its power to improve productivity, engagement and retention. But unfortunately, it doesn't come about by accident. There are two conversations employees need to have in order to build and maintain a healthy work-life balance - one with themselves and a second with their manager. With this in mind, we're sharing one-on-one meeting questions that managers can use to fuel these conversations with their people, and bring about meaningful change across their teams.

The one-on-one meeting questions in our talking point template were developed in tandem with our performance and engagement platform, Frankli, based on the latest research in organisational psychology. They're designed to help you have the most productive conversations possible with your people, but, of course, you're free to change up these questions to suit your plans for your meeting. You'll also find this template, and 9 others, on our Essential One-on-One Talking Point Templates downloadable.

Frankli User? Simply select the Work-Life Balance template when creating a new 1:1 Meeting with your people to automatically add these talking points to the shared agenda, and give your people the opportunity to respond or contribute notes ahead of time.

Automate your One-on-One Meetings

Research from Gartner tells us that 65% of tasks currently performed by managers have the potential to be automated by 2025 (1), and it starts with the scheduling and structuring of one-on-one meetings with your employees.

Think about how much time it takes to;

• Set up one-to-one meetings with all your people

• Schedule recurring one-on-one meetings

• Come up with relevant talking points

• Set and share meeting agendas

• Share relevant documents to discuss

• Prepare relevant data on employee performance and feedback

• Record notes from the meeting

• Make lists of points to action after the meeting

• Assign action points and set reminders to follow up on them

All of this takes time, time that could be spent on strategic thinking and other pressing work. That's why millions of high-performing teams (2) are turning to digital tools like Frankli to automate one-on-one meetings.
