When a strong employee starts slipping… what do you actually do?
You have someone on your team who has always been solid. Reliable. Consistent. Someone you don’t have to worry about. But lately… something’s off.They’re still doing the job—but the energy, engagement, and initiative just aren’t there. No major issues. Nothing you can clearly point to. Just… different. Do you: - address it now and risk overreacting - wait for clearer signs - check in personally first - start documenting quietly What would you actually do in this situation?
