Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Reserve time for employee questions and next steps.

Separate strengths and growth areas so both get attention.

Use an XTimer room only when a visible shared timer supports the meeting tone.

Frequently asked questions

What is a performance review timer?

A performance review timer structures review conversations around self-review, feedback, strengths, growth areas, goals, and next steps.

Can this timer be used for manager check-ins?

Yes. Use the midyear check preset for shorter progress, blocker, and goal conversations.

Should the employee see the timer?

Only when it helps set expectations. If visible timing supports the meeting, use fullscreen mode or an XTimer room viewer.
