An assessment tool designed to help employees improve their performance or behaviour in the workplace. The purpose of a PIP is to motivate struggling employees—not a means to start the termination process.
Each plan should focus on improving the performance or behaviour of an employee by giving them clear, easy-to-reach milestones. The plan can be drafted with help from supervisors and HR.
Monitoring progress and reviewing the plan is essential to helping employees reach their optimal performance.
