employees or team members.
2. Interviews:
Interviews involve one-on-one or group discussions with
individuals to collect qualitative data.

employee concerns.

3. Observations:
Observations involve directly observing behaviors and interactions
in the workplace.
They can be structured (with predefined criteria) or unstructured

Suitable for studying employee behavior, workflow, and the
working environment.
Effective for identifying patterns, bottlenecks, and operational
challenges.
