It is nice to see that employees are showing up on time and as scheduled, according to this poll. Not completing work as assigned or to deadlines could be either a skill or motivational issue. They could be procrastinating because the task does not mesh with their performance needs (see Performance Management 4). If so, then this is a motivational issue. If they are procrastinating because they don't have the skills - training is an option (see Performance Management 2). A negative or pessimistic attitude is usually due to a motivational issue. Errors and incompetency is usually a skill issue.

Thank you to all that participated in the poll!
