Sample answer outline

- Keep it under a minute and enjoy it.

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.
