What is Quarterly Review?

A quarterly review is a structured conversation about goals, progress, feedback and development held every three months.

In simple terms

It creates a regular opportunity to adjust priorities and recognise achievements instead of waiting for an annual review. The format may include goal updates, manager feedback and agreed next steps.

Example

A manager and employee review quarterly KPIs and set priorities for the next quarter.
