HR Basics: Performance Improvement Plans

HR Basics is a series of short courses, designed to highlight what you need to know about a particular human resource management topic. In today’s HR Basics, we explore performance improvement plans, discussing best practices for both process and management.
A performance improvement plan (PIP) is a great way to give struggling employees the opportunity to succeed while still holding them accountable for past performance.
There may come a time when an employee’s performance is not meeting expectations. When performance is lacking, a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) can provide a helpful step in the coaching and counseling process. A performance improvement plan is a critical tool and process for managing employee performance. Performance Management refers to the processes to ensure the organization connects mission with the work of employees.
The success of a performance improvement plan depends on effective process and management. Process refers to the appropriate steps to design and execute a performance improvement plan. Management refers to the planning, leadership and direction provided by a supervisor through the process.
Careful planning through the performance improvement process coupled with sound management practices - especially in documentation and feedback - create the best possibilities for improved employee performance.

PIP's are not a way of helping a struggling employee succeed, the majority of employees are dismissed, it is a dismissal policy.

Gregg Learning that’s great in a perfect world but we know this is really just smoke and mirrors. This a tool to cover a company’s ass. Period.

JasonDesignMedia they put me on one, thought I was a gonner. But I got to stay. The PIP was actually unfair because upper crust management got rid of part work I was originally hired to do and then they blame me for poor performance.

I have been put on 1 but they haven’t made me sign any documents does this mean I am actually on a performance plan or they’re just trying to scare me?
