If your team is making noises about how glad they are the working week is over, how sad they are it’s Monday, or talking about work-life balance, it’s a good idea to ask why.

“When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.” — Simon Sinek

Everyone looks forward to the weekend, but a few well-chosen questions could get you some information to improve engagement.

  • What was challenging about this week?
  • What can I do to help you next time you have a hard week?
  • Are there any resources you need?
  • What are you not looking forward to next week?
  • How can I make those tasks easier for you?
  • Can anyone else help you?
  • Can I help you?
  • How are you feeling about work at the moment?
  • Do you feel appreciated & valued at work?
  • What changes would you like to see in your role?
  • Is there anything preventing you from thriving in your role?
  • Is there any training or development that would help you?
  • Are your skills and experience being fully utilized?
  • Are you comfortable sharing your ideas with the team?
  • Are you clear about your responsibilities and deadlines?
  • Do you have any ideas to improve engagement in the team?
  • What can the team do to support you?
  • What can the organization do to help you?
  • Is there anything else I can do to support your well-being at work?
