When a lazy team member is identified, you have to identify the core. Is it a motivation or skill issue. A simple to approach this is to ask:
“If a gun is placed on their head, can they do x?” #DearEmployer
“If a gun is placed on their head, can they do x?” #DearEmployer
The answer will determine your approach. If it’s a no, then it’s a skill problem. On the other hand, if it’s a yes it’s probably a motivation problem. #DearEmployer
The Yes Path
Sometimes employees are not motivated enough to give their all. The cause can range from job security worries to lack of support. Be open to discuss with them before you make an extreme choice of firing. #DearEmployer

The No Path
If an employee has a skill problem, there are two solutions. Trainings and reassignment. #DearEmployer
