An Employee Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a formal document that outlines specific concerns or gaps in an employee’s performance. It serves as a strategy to help the employee improve on the specific areas of their job where they are not meeting the requirements of the position they were hired for. There are certain items that must be included when presenting an employee with a Performance Improvement Plan.
This plan is multi-faceted. It is a key building block to build a case against an employee you are planning to terminate. It provides documentation and verification that all parties involved understand the problem at hand and the possible consequences if the employee does not comply with the necessary steps resulting in outcomes set forth in the PIP.
It is not only essential for the termination process. It is also a helpful tool for an underperforming employee who wishes to improve their skills and keep their job. This would prove they were motivated to put their best foot forward in order to maintain their current position and possibly grow with the company. It would provide one to one mentorship from their supervisor or manager.
