How to Create an Effective Performance Improvement Plan

Managing performance can be complex, time consuming and risky.  For those on the receiving end of the process, if the process is not run correctly, it can be stressful and have a damaging psychological effect. When an employee’s performance falls short of expectations, creating an effective performance improvement plan (“PIP”) is therefore crucial for both protecting the organisation and supporting staff members with their development. Getting it right can transform struggling employees into valuable and loyal contributors and help to develop a flourishing business. Getting the PIP process wrong can expose a business to significant legal risks, create disruption, inefficiency and disharmony; often lasting for many months; and at worst, considerable upset leading to legal action, particularly if the employee believes that the process is unfair or unjust.
