Why Set Durations for Talking Points?
Allocating time to each agenda item helps ensure that meetings stay focused, balanced, and on schedule. With Teamflect, you can now set durations per talking point, making your meetings more structured and outcome-driven — especially useful in recurring or time-boxed 1-on-1s.
How to Use Time Allocation for Talking Points
Step 1: Enable Time Allocation (Admins Only)
If you're an admin:
Go to admin.teamflect.com
Navigate to the Meetings module settings
Toggle "Enable time allocation for talking points"
This will activate the duration setting feature for all users.
Step 2: Access the Meetings Module
Log in to your Teamflect account and go to the Meetings module.
Step 3: Add a Talking Point and Set the Duration
Create or open a meeting, then click "Add Talking Point". Enter your discussion topic.
After adding the talking point, a time field will appear. Enter the desired duration (in minutes).
Repeat this for each talking point to build a fully time-managed agenda.
During the Meeting
As you run the meeting, each talking point will display its allocated duration. This helps participants stay on track and move through the agenda efficiently.
You can adjust durations before the meeting if priorities shift.
HR-Focused Use Cases
1. Time-Boxed Coaching Conversations
Use fixed time slots for development, feedback, and check-in topics to keep coaching discussions disciplined and outcome-focused.
2. Probation Review Efficiency
Managers can allocate time across multiple focus areas — performance, behavior, onboarding — to ensure structured and fair evaluation.
3. Meeting Skills Training for New Managers
Setting durations trains new managers to think in terms of meeting ROI, agenda prioritization, and efficient facilitation.
Final Thoughts
By allocating time to talking points in Teamflect, your meetings become less reactive and more intentional. This feature is perfect for teams aiming to improve meeting hygiene, eliminate overruns, and maximize productivity.
Encourage managers and team leads to build repeatable meeting templates with durations included — especially for recurring 1-on-1s or check-ins.
