      121 Review Questions

      121 reviews are private and focused conversations between two individuals: usually the employee and their manager. The purpose of a 121 is to provide a dedicated space for discussing various topics, such as performance, objectives, feedback, challenges, career development, and any other matters relevant to the individuals involved.

      These meetings aim to foster open communication, build relationships, address concerns, and promote collaboration in a more personalized and confidential setting. The term "121" is commonly used as an abbreviation for these one-on-one interactions.
