Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The request does not provide a deadline for completing the analysis and report.
Key Takeaway: All requests should include a deadline so that the employee will know what is expected of them for completion timing. This helps facilitate on-time completion of tasks and also helps with prioritization. If the request is a long-term request, it is also helpful to provide intermediate deadlines and progress updates. Additionally, once the deadline is established, it is the manager's responsibility to follow-up with the employee to ensure that the deadline was met.
