Performance Improvement Plans

A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a formal document used by employers to address an employee's underperformance. It outlines specific areas where improvement is needed, sets clear goals, and defines expectations. The plan typically includes a timeline for achieving these goals, along with support and resources available to help the employee succeed. It's meant to be constructive, providing the employee a chance to improve their performance and remain in their role. If the employee meets the plan's criteria, they can continue their employment; if not, it may lead to further action, such as reassignment or termination.
