Using a 1:1 meeting template is a powerful tool to make 1:1 meetings more impactful, consistent, and people-centered. It ensures that both managers and team members come prepared and aligned, allowing the conversation to go beyond task updates and into areas that drive motivation, performance, and engagement.
By offering a structured format, templates help build consistency across meetings and homogenize how 1:1 meetings are structured across teams. They also make it easier to track topics over time, follow up on commitments, and identify patterns or concerns early. This is especially valuable when managing multiple team members or trying to scale people management practices across teams.
Templates also promote better communication and trust, as they encourage open-ended questions around personal well-being, professional goals, challenges, and feedback. These elements help build stronger relationships and psychological safety within the team.
Additionally, having a shared structure allows for more efficient use of time, ensures that critical topics aren’t missed, and gives employees a sense of being heard and supported.
How many 1:1 templates can I publish simultaneously?
Nailted makes it easy to design and manage custom 1:1 meeting templates to fit the unique needs of your organization. You can create as many templates as you need, allowing you to tailor conversations for different teams, roles, or situations. See here how to create a 1:1 template.
However, the number of templates you can actively use (i.e. published and available for managers) depends on your subscription plan:
Pro Plan
You can create unlimited templates, but only one template can be published and visible to managers at any given time. This is ideal for teams with a simpler structure or unified process for 1:1 meetings.
💡You can switch or update the published template at any time.
Advanced Plan
Enjoy full flexibility: you can have multiple templates published simultaneously. This is perfect for larger or more diverse organizations where different departments or roles may benefit from distinct conversation flows.
💡Managers can choose the most relevant template based on their team’s needs.
