What is a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and how should HR use one?
A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a formal, time-bound document outlining specific performance deficiencies, expected improvements, timelines, and consequences if improvement is not achieved. PIPs are typically used for employees whose performance has fallen below expectations and whose manager wants to either turn the performance around or document the path to termination. Effective PIPs are specific, measurable, and genuinely intended to succeed; poorly designed PIPs are thinly disguised termination notices.
