Why one-on-ones matter now more than ever

Restructures. Role changes. New obligations. Ongoing uncertainty.

Across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, leaders are navigating constant disruption, and the emotional toll that comes with it. For people teams, that means rethinking how we stay connected to our teams and responsibilities.

This free One-on-one Template Pack is designed to help.

It gives managers a clear structure to support not just performance, but also wellbeing, motivation and trust, all of which underpin modern psychosocial safety obligations.

It’s practical. Easy to use. And grounded in the real needs of people leaders and their teams across Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

Why this resource matters

When things feel uncertain, conversations matter most.

One-on-ones give leaders a simple, structured way to check in with their teams — before small issues become big problems. They’re a chance to listen, clarify, support, and adapt. And when done well, they help employees feel seen and safe.

But only 3 in 10 employees feel comfortable raising personal challenges with their manager.

We can change that, with better questions and stronger habits.
