When a major project falls behind schedule, effective resource reallocation is key to getting back on track. First, assess the most critical tasks causing the delay and identify where additional support could have the highest impact. Prioritize tasks based on urgency and potential for rapid progress. Communicate openly with team members and, if possible, temporarily assign additional staff or resources to those critical tasks. Analyze if any non-essential projects can be paused or resources shifted to focus fully on the major project.

Listen to the employee's raise request and acknowledge their perspective. Revisit the original agreement about salary reviews, explaining the context (e.g., budget). Shift focus to the future: discuss career paths, growth opportunities (projects, training), and set clear expectations for future raises. Offer support and express appreciation for their work. Maintain a positive tone: Reassure them their contributions are valued and their future is promising.

Acknowledge their request and listen to their reasons. Explain the company’s policies on salary reviews and typical timelines for raises, emphasizing the importance of performance and contribution. Offer feedback on how they can grow in the role to reach future compensation goals, setting realistic expectations from the start.
