performance improvement plan

A performance improvement plan (PIP) is a formal process used by employers to help employees improve their work performance. It outlines specific areas where improvement is needed, sets clear goals, and provides guidance or resources to achieve those goals. The plan often includes a set timeframe, regular check-ins, and benchmarks to measure progress. The aim is to support employees in meeting job expectations, avoid misunderstandings, and foster professional growth. If improvements are not made within the given period, further actions may be considered, including potential termination.
