Just curious if there is a standard title for the 1x1 email people receive.

How long are these meetings? I have one scheduled for tomorrow
I remember in the "old days" when a manager would call you human2human and advise you that you were being laid off. I felt like less of a betrayal, to tell you in such a way that maintained your dignity. Dell could still do that, and have the manager inform you to expect a follow up meeting with HR. People should be close enough to their managers to get that call. Why they continue this charade of sending the mysterious calendar invitation to "review business" is beyond me. Reading a script is even worse. Layoffs are unavoidable at certain times. Just find a way to do it, that makes people feel like they ever mattered, and were appreciated regardless.
Standard 1x1 meeting invite, mine did not include anyone else other than my manager in the meeting invite and low and behold get on the call and there is a 3rd person on the call and immediately into reading a script.
Just a plain 1:1 invite. Some orgs it comes from your direct managers, some orgs it comes from the director.
Mine was a Teams meeting with my manager, right away I noticed a third person on the call, it was HR. My manager got to reading the prepared script right away, hate those scripts, so impersonal, so cold
Not always true they can come in a one in one title from your manager they have in the past. When i was laid off years ago it was by a one on one. I've since come back to Dell like many others.
1*1 business update
From what I remember from a previous role it's from HR and not just labelled one on one from manger.
