That’s so very thoughtful of you to post this question 💙 I think it depends on individual. For example, my main struggle at work is time pressure during calls and meetings, and I actually prefer to speak as soon as possible, because if I have to present towards the end, I feel even more time pressure and actually stutter more. I think it would be good to: A. Have a 1on1 check in and discuss if they have any specific needs or preferences, especially in speaking situations. B. Inform the team, so it’s not a surprise for anyone. But again, I would check in with the person first, if they are comfortable to let others know (or that you do it), I personally feel more secure when it’s out in the open. As for the terms, I think both stutter and speech impediment are fine, it is what it is 😄 it’s still widely used and not outdated terms. Communication is the key, and by asking questions and informing yourself you are already building a great environment for the employee, I’m sure they will feel supported 😊
