There weren't many flaws in Ms. Mohammed's work performance. However, there is some advice that I would give her that could impact her work performance in the future. Ms. Mohammed has the tendency to take on the world. Although she performs well under pressure, I'd advise her not to over work herself and take on the responsibilities of others. Ms. Mohammed can be very task oriented and I've noticed that she sometimes wouldn't take a break for the entire duration of the shift. Therefore I'd advise her to take some time to herself during shifts. There has been times when Ms. Mohammed would come in early or stay late to ensure that things weren't left undone. Moving forward I would advise her to utilize delegation more, when appropriate.
