Disengaged Employee Discussion Question CLO 1, CLO 4

Romana, a Gen Xer, has recently become distant and appears disengaged one a new project. You have noticed many errors in her work, which is generally atypical of her performance. You schedule a meeting to discuss this with her. At the beginning of the meeting you tell her, "Your work is usually outstanding but I notice you have made a few errors on your current project. Is there something I can help you with?" Romana sighs and says, "I am sorry about the errors, I am still recovering from all the work I did on the last project. Since Aisha and Yadira left, I have taken on a lot of work." You suddenly remember how much Romana went above and beyond during her last project, and your failure to recognize her. You begin to suspect she is frustrated due to the lack of recognition for her extra efforts.

You consider Romana to be a rising star on your team. What would you say to her?
