Zahra Performance Evidence Report
Focused report on documented Zahra performance risk and visible Slack activity over the last two months.
Executive Decision
Zahra should be removed from independent ownership of critical HR, onboarding, Cigna, contract, EMI, ERS, and deadline-driven People work. The evidence shows low confidence in independent execution: late escalation, unclear ownership, repeated dependency on Zoe/Jack/Harry/Figo, and activity that appears clustered around chases or urgent deadlines rather than steady ownership.
Last Two Months Slack Activity
Authored by Zahra from May 2-Jul 2.
Out of 62 calendar days.
No visible Zahra-authored Slack messages.

Evidence of Performance Risk
Performance Read
| Attribute | Score | Evidence-based read |
|---|---|---|
| Responsiveness | 1.2 / 5 | Only 18 active Slack days out of 62, with May and Jun 1 fully inactive in visible results. Activity spikes when work is being chased or deadlines become urgent. |
| Effectiveness | 1.3 / 5 | Some useful process work exists, especially onboarding collateral, but the work repeatedly needs supervision, correction, or ownership clarification. |
| Ownership | 1.0 / 5 | Repeated questions about who owns what, missing access, unfamiliarity with core tools/processes, and late escalation near deadlines. |
| Quality / risk control | 1.5 / 5 | Highest risk area is deadline-driven compliance and HR operations: EMI/ERS, Government Gateway, employee folders, Cigna, and contract/onboarding handoffs. |
| Knowledge of space | 1.4 / 5 | Understands some people-ops concepts, but evidence shows practical gaps in Linear, EMI, ERS, Penfold/pensions, Cigna flow, Ashby/contract flow, and internal access patterns. |
Recommended Action
