If you were ellie and you witnessed caroline's reaction to her unsatisfactory review, what should you do when it is time for another employee's performance appraisal?

multiple choice
a. use caroline's evaluation as a model for future reviews
b. ignore caroline's reaction do the same type of performance review
c. check in with caroline several times during year to ensure the goals you set together are working
d. defend your evaluation to caroline and hr

The correct answer is C. check in with Caroline several times during year to ensure the goals you set together are working

Explanation:

In business administration, performance reviews is a much needed part of the job, but one that can often take a toll on management and employees alike, and that if not handled properly, it can lead to a degrading work atmosphere that will negatively affect performance. Because of this, bosses and administrators should try to promote an ongoing work relationship with their employees. This way, they will be more open to valid criticism. In our case, where Caroline appears to be unsatisfied by her review, this could negatively affect her future performance and work atmosphere. What we must do is to promote a closer relationship with Caroline by checking in with her several times during the year to ensure the goals we set together are working. Not only we will benefit by ensuring work is done according to plan (which means fewer negative performance reviews), but it will promote a positive work atmosphere.

clearcutting reproduces a new even-aged stand by completely removing the mature stand.

clearcutting as a silvicultural treatment has several characteristics:

it causes a sudden environmental change

it removes the seed source from the regeneration area

the configuration of the clearcut may affect seed dispersal

it begins a new rotation

it will eliminate some pests that require forest cover

overall, it temporarily removes the forest cover, transforming the forest community and environment.

clearcutting followed by artificial (seeded or planted) regeneration has several advantages:

we can avoid delay in restocking the site

we can introduce a selected species, seed source, and genotype

we can control arrangement and spacing

we can achieve uniformity in the new stand

we can overcome the problems associated with securing sufficient natural regeneration.

the shelterwood method involves the removal of most of the mature stand at the end of the rotation, but a portion of the mature stand is left standing.   the shelterwood method serves three basic purposes:

to prepare the stand for production of abundant seed

to modify the environment in a way that promotes germination and survival of the selected species

to build up the amount and size of advance regeneration to ensure the prompt restocking of the new stand following overstory removal.

the shelterwood method involves a sequence of 3 cuttings:

preparatory cuttings: make the seed trees more vigorous and set the stage for regeneration. see our thinning page for more information.

establishment/seed cuttings: open up enough vacant growing space to allow establishment of the new regeneration.

removal cuttings: uncover the new crop to allow it to fill the growing space.

the residual trees in the shelterwood must:

be sturdy and windfirm

be able to survive exposure

flower and reproduce seed

be the best trees of the mature stand

keep in mind that the shelter trees must not occupy the entire site.   a void must be created in order to make room for the new regeneration. the amount of shelter to leave will depend on the following factors:

species characteristics (seeding and shelter requirements)

the number of cuttings in the cutting sequence (1, 2, or 3)

landowner objectives

the size of the area to be regenerated

the final removal harvest level required to be profitable

the shelter must be removed before it impedes the growth of the new stand or threatens its survival.
