Sample answer outline
- Choose a private moment and open with care: "I've noticed you've been late a few times. Is everything OK?"
- Listen. There may be a reason (health, family, transport) that changes what help looks like.
- Be honest about the impact on you and the team, using "I" statements.
- Agree on something concrete together, and say you'd need to involve the manager if it keeps happening.
What makes it work
- Curiosity before judgment opens the conversation.
- It ends with a clear plan, not just feelings.
How to approach role-play questions
- Talk to the actor directly, as if it were real. Don't narrate what you would do.
- Introduce yourself and find out what they know and feel before giving information.
- Name emotions out loud, then share information in small pieces.
- Agree on a next step before time runs out.
