A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a structured and formal document that outlines specific goals and actions designed to help employees enhance their performance and achieve desired outcomes. A well-designed PIP shouldn’t be a punishment or disciplinary action. PIPs are a valuable tool for focusing on specific areas of improvement to help develop the employee’s career options and skills.

Why should you Attend: At some point, every manager will have an employee whose performance or behavior does not meet expectations. When this happens, the manager has a responsibility to provide honest, corrective feedback and take other steps necessary to bring the employee’s performance to the level needed for them to be successful in their role.

A Performance Improvement Plan is helpful when a manager has noticed a specific area or areas of underperformance and sets specific goals necessary for the employee to attain to improve performance. Working with an employee to get better at their job is full of uncomfortable conversations, but with the right tools in your management toolbelt, you’ll soon be able to move through the process with ease.
