One way to measure time management is to assess the time and employee spends on a project. However, you should only use those measures that can be collected automatically such as time cards or computer software. For most jobs, manual reporting, such as entering data into a timesheet, is neither reliable nor cost-effective. There are multiple software programs that can track what is being done on a computer. This way, you can investigate employees who are not meeting performance standards to see what they are having trouble with. If specific employees are falling far below the average, they can be singled-out and helped to meet the performance requirements. While feedback is important, daily monitoring is a two-edged sword that can be a morale buster. It also shifts performance responsibilities from management to a tool. It's better to use weekly or monthly measures. In addition, use bonuses instead of humiliation to encourage employees, and keep individual performance figures confidential. One manner of measuring performance is to make note of how an employee adheres to company policies. To monitor these lapses, try the following methods: Monitor punctuality issues. Employees who are habitually late are naturally missing minutes they could be working. What's worse, they could be upsetting other employees. Check for dress code violations. An employee that is relaxed on their professional appearance is likely to exhibit the same approach to their actual work. Clarify usage of workplace items. Be sure employees know how and when they may use company items like a car, cell phone, or computer. Employees abusing company materials are not using time wisely.

One-sentence summary -- Measure time spent on particular tasks. Give regular, but not too frequent, feedback. Note lapses in workplace decorum.

Q: In a large skillet, cook 4 strips of bacon that have been cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces on medium-low heat. Allow the bacon to cook until it is crisp, and then transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to set aside until later. You can substitute turkey bacon for regular bacon if you prefer. Don't drain off the bacon fat when you remove the bacon pieces. You'll need the grease for the rest of the recipe. Once you've removed the bacon from the pan, add 2 finely chopped onions to the skillet. Saute the onions in the bacon fat over medium-high heat until they become tender, which should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. You can add 1 stalk of diced celery and 1 small diced green pepper to the onions if you want to include more vegetables in the dish. When the onion is tender, mix a 6-ounce (170 g) can of tomato paste, 2 cups (532 ml) of water, 3 teaspoons (15 g) of salt, 2 teaspoons (10 g) of sugar, and teaspoon (2.5 g) of black pepper into the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook on medium-high until it comes to a boil, which should take approximately 3 minutes. Once the skillet comes to a boil, add 1 cup (185 g) of long grain rice. Stir the rice into the mixture well until it's fully incorporated, and then allow it to come to a boil again, which should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. When you add the rice, you can also stir in up to 8 tablespoons (120 g) of bacon fat. That will help deepen the smoky flavor of the finished rice. After the rice mixture has come to a boil, turn the burner's heat down to low and cover the skillet. Cook the rice until it is tender and all of the liquid is absorbed, which should take approximately 15 minutes. If you don't have a lid for your skillet, you can place a baking sheet or a piece of foil across the top to help trap the steam. When the rice is finished cooking, remove the skillet from the burner. Fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the cooked bacon pieces until they are well incorporated. Serve the rice with your favorite Southern main course.
A: Fry the bacon, and set aside. Saute the onions in the bacon grease. Add the tomato paste, water, salt, sugar, and pepper to the pan, and bring to a boil. Mix in the rice, and bring to a boil again. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed. Stir in crumbled bacon and serve.

Problem: Article: This is probably the most widely used method by the majority of growers, including many agricultural grain crops. There are many ways to pre-treat seed for attempting germination in the artificial setting of a greenhouse. These are processes used in an effort to overcome seed dormancy and reach successful germination on a human driven schedule. Mother Nature does a wonderful job of overcoming dormancy so seed will germinate at the safest time for the seedlings to emerge into a growth friendly environment. We try to imitate those processes to grow plants indoors successfully. All of these asexual methods develop plants that are essentially clones of the original specimens. Putting slips into a jar of water in the kitchen window until roots form are stem cuttings. This method as a high risk of mold developing. Dividing clumps of plants, such as Hostas, when they get very large is another form of asexual propagation. Plant bits of a rhizome root will cause new plant growth and is another form of cutting. The practice of grafting which is often used with roses and fruit trees is a type of asexual propagation. Use layering with raspberry canes where they are bent over to the ground and covered with soil where new roots will develop.
Summary:
Use sexual propagation for increasing plant numbers by germinating seed and growing the seedlings to maturity. Use asexual propagation for processes that involve using the leaf, stem, and root cuttings.
