I have an assistant who started in Feb. of this year. She worked really well up until around June 1, right about the time she had her last review, which was excellent, and receiving a significant raise with bonuses. Since then she has been late, doesn't take initiative, complains about little things, and ahs become critical.
My question is for employers out there, do you see a drop in performance after a good review or a raise? If so, what are steps to take to get your employee back on track.

Sounds like a case of inflated ego. I've seen employees get too confident after a good review - especially if the review was better than the employee really is. If her performance has dropped, then you need to have a coaching session with her. Give her specific examples of how her performance has slipped, and document the conversation. But make it a 2-way conversation - there may be some completely unrelated reason for her attitude change. And remember, the key to employee management is "document, document, document!" If you talk to her every day from now until her next review and don't document any of the conversations, then give her a bad review, you're just setting yourself up for a world of trouble. Letting her know you've noticed her recent lack of performance could give her the reality check she needs to get back on track. If not, you might just have a bad employee, and she'll work herself out of her job in time.

Consider the possibility that the change had nothing to do with the review; it was just a coincidence. One critical thing to understand is the employee's motivation in wanting to work there in the first place. Maybe she was just desperate for a job, or maybe she is discovering that working for your company isn't really isn't as exciting as she thought it would be. Go back to the beginning of the hiring process and ask yourself, "Was this really a good match?" If not, you're being given an opportunity to send her on her way and start over.

do no longer pay attention to Connor, he has no theory what he's conversing approximately. I thoroughly accept as true with you. i've got seen the workers immediately grabbing puppy care books and looking out via them to discover the respond to a customer's question... while i grow to be in severe college I utilized for a job at a puppy shop. i might had each type of puppy they offered aspects for different than birds, knew all approximately their care, yet i did no longer get employed. And every time i might bypass there i might hear a lot incorrect information being given to the customers by the workers that they had employed. i think of the foremost's that the workers the two do no longer care, or are asserting what they have been informed to declare. Plus they could't precisely tell people "we don't sell the terrific aspects right here, try someplace else" because of the fact they could get fired for dropping sales. together as I do think of a few of it particularly is the fault of the workers, particularly some it comes back to the vendors who don't be concerned to do study until now getting a puppy. you will think of with the internet, people may be extra effective knowledgeable, yet particularly some everybody remains very ignorant.

I think you may want to focus on a personal problem. It sounds like there is something else going on in her life that has affected her performance. She may have been good at covering it up while she was new, but as she felt more comfortable that her job was not in jeopardy, she has given in to these other detractors. Just a thought, but have a session with her that doesn't focus on work, but see what needs she may have out of the office. There may be an addict in her personal life. Experience speaking.

remind them that will not be their last review and the way they're acting now will be considered on the next review-its typical though-people get great feedback from the employer and more money-they become more comfortable in being less productive,lazy, complain more,think they're the best employee in the company-you pretty much have to put her in her place
