Our system is really lacking and we do a lot of work outside of it to track data. Currently I’m using Excel to track data from multiple resources, however, it’s so manual and prone to error.

What do you do with employees who keep finding excuses for being slow on their tasks? We hired someone a couple months ago. She is doing ok with her routine tasks, but when I assign her one off project, she’s slow and would never report her progress unless I ask her. And when I ask (weeks later), half of the time she says “I was planning on doing it this week.” I tried to tell her deadlines, but it’s not working.
