Direct Report

It refers to an employee who directly reports to a specific manager or supervisor within an organization. This term is commonly used in the context of hierarchical structures, where managers have subordinates who report directly to them. The direct report is accountable to their manager and typically receives guidance, feedback, and performance evaluations from them. The manager is responsible for overseeing the work of their direct reports, providing support and resources, setting goals, and ensuring that tasks are completed efficiently and effectively. Direct reports often have regular one-on-one meetings with their managers to discuss progress, address concerns, and receive direction.
