How do you delicately tell an employee they have bad breath?

Hmmm, in a normal workplace, I would just leave some Listerine on her desk.
Otherwise, you kinda just have to tell her. I’d be glad someone told me.
Leave a note on her desk.
just tell her the truth
offer her a piece of gum, or a mint every time she talks to you. She’ll get the message.
offer her some mints the next time she gets in your face I think she will get the hint
keep a dish of mints around. usually if there’s candy in a work environment and you’re just plugging and chugging away, it’s easy to just throw these in your mouth. maybe she’ll sort of get the hint and you can avoid the confrontation.
Just tell her…..Hey dragon breath, ever heard of Listerine?
tell this person that they stink! Apparently they aren’t worried about offending you with their odiferous eminations, so don’t worry about offending them. The problem is with them not you.
