This video scenario provides the just-in-time information and tools needed to help a manager address the situation while maintaining a respectful workplace.

Socializing interrupts their own work, and it also disrupts the work of other employees. As a manager, you need to clarify an employee’s role and expectations in your own mind, and then clearly and specifically relay those expectations to the employee.
