A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a formal document that outlines specific issues with an employee's performance and sets clear expectations for improvement. It is used when an employee is not meeting expectations in their role and provides a structured corrective plan.

A PIP includes specific, measurable goals, an improvement timeline, and regular meetings with the manager to monitor progress.

It also defines consequences if performance does not improve, which may include further disciplinary action. It is essential that a PIP is treated as a support tool, not just a formality before dismissal. The goal is to help the employee get back on track and reach the required level of effectiveness, which is in the interest of both the employee and the organization.
