Would you rather…
Light, inclusive icebreakers for meetings, onboarding and team chats. Nothing political, nothing awkward, and every question is safe to ask in front of HR.
How to use these at work
Open a stand-up or weekly meeting with one question and give everyone 30 seconds to answer. It takes two minutes, gets every camera on and gives new hires something easy to say on day one.
On Slack or Teams, post the question link in a social channel and let people vote here; the live split makes a good follow-up post. Every question avoids politics, religion, money worries and anything personal, so nobody is put on the spot.
