Employee Performance Improvement Plan ( ADMIN )

This checklist is designed to guide managers through the process of creating and implementing an Employee Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) to address underperformance and enhance employee productivity effectively.

• Identify Performance Issues

  Assess and document specific performance issues related to the employee's role. Gather data from performance reviews, feedback from peers, and any relevant metrics.

• Schedule a Meeting with Employee

  Arrange a private meeting with the employee to discuss the performance issues identified. Ensure the discussion is constructive and supportive.

• Develop Improvement Goals

  Work collaboratively with the employee to set clear, measurable, and achievable performance improvement goals. Ensure they are realistic and time-bound.

• Create Action Plan

  Outline the steps the employee will take to improve, including resources, training, and support required. Define the timelines for each action.

• Document the PIP

  Prepare a formal document outlining the performance issues, goals, and action plan. Ensure both the manager and employee sign the document to acknowledge understanding and agreement.

• Regular Check-ins

  Schedule regular check-in meetings (weekly or bi-weekly) to discuss progress, provide feedback, and make adjustments to the plan as necessary.

• Evaluate Progress

  At the end of the PIP period, evaluate the employee's progress against the established goals. Document outcomes and decide on next steps.

• Follow-up Actions

  Based on the evaluation, determine whether to conclude the PIP, extend it, or consider other actions such as reassignment or termination if performance has not improved.
