Employees who are not interested in work and high results deprive your business of up to 30% of revenue. Moreover, they gradually “infect” others with this approach. And in the long term, you get a team that brings minimal results, but at the same time costs the company a lot.
We call such disengaged employees passengers. They take up overseas data space and even "pay for a ticket", but they do not influence the team's movement or business growth. They are the complete opposite of stars. Stars are efficient, involved in the process, genuinely interested in the result, root for the company and bring in profit.
The article will be useful for managers who do not yet have an experienced HR manager, but who want to get rid of passengers in time and retain motivated stars.

5 Signs of Passengers
Low performance
Let's make it clear right away that all people work at different speeds. Therefore, evaluating the entire team by the upper limit (the most productive member) is not the best idea. But it is still worth developing some kind of average indicator, from which you can and should start.
And also, the performance evaluation depends on the sphere. For example, the quantitative approach, which evaluates the volume of work done, is not always relevant. A striking example is writing code. Sometimes one line saves a company from serious problems and saves the business colossal amounts of money.
In most areas, qualitative and quantitative approaches are combined. This means that the manager takes into account the volume of tasks solved, the observance of deadlines, as well as the result that the team achieved. If, taking into account these indicators, the employee's rating goes into the negative, you are clearly dealing with a passenger.
