Performance Improvement Plan

A performance improvement plan, or PIP, is a tool used by employers to help employees improve their job performance. A PIP usually includes a list of specific goals or objectives that the employee is expected to achieve, along with a timeline for completion. The employee may also be given a plan for improvement, which may include specific steps the employee can take to improve their performance.
A PIP is typically used when an employee’s job performance is below expectations and the employee is not meeting the organization’s standards.
It can also be used to help employees who are struggling to meet the demands of a new position or who have been recently promoted.
A PIP is not a punishment, but rather a way to help the employee improve their performance and stay productive and successful in their role.
