In such a situation, it is important to understand the reasons for varying productivity without making hasty conclusions.

  1. Conduct individual conversations with each employee to understand the difficulties they face and whether there are obstacles in their work.
  2. Assess the quality and complexity of the tasks completed; perhaps some tasks are easier or more numerous for some, and more difficult for others.
  3. Discuss with the manager that the metric "number of closed tasks" does not always reflect actual efficiency.
  4. Propose team retrospectives to identify problems and improve processes.
  5. Maintain an open dialogue, motivate employees, and possibly assist with training or redistribution of tasks.

Thus, instead of blaming, it is important to find the causes and help the team work more effectively.
