Video interview

I asked the employee to meet me and we sat down and talked about his performance and asked how he saw his performance, employee said he was getting jobs below his level of experience and was bored. Suggested talking to his lead and to me when he found bored and in need of a higher experience level job assignment. I set him up with a timeline to work with his lead and as the timeline went by I checked on the employees progress with him and his lead. The productivity improved as the employee got jobs that challenged him/her and then sat one more time to let the employee know that he was doing well and that he should expect his productivity to be at this level along with him working with his lead to get jobs with higher level of experience.
