Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)
A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a structured process used by employers to help employees improve specific work performance issues. It clearly outlines areas needing improvement, sets achievable goals, and provides a timeline for progress. The goal is to support the employee in addressing concerns and enhancing their skills. A PIP is not punishment; it’s a supportive tool to ensure both the employee and organization succeed. If performance does not improve within the plan’s timeframe, further actions may be considered.
