This checklist is designed to outline the steps necessary to create and implement an Employee Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for employees who are not meeting performance expectations. The goal is to provide a structured approach for both the employee and the manager to facilitate improvement.
Review the employee's performance data and feedback to identify specific areas where performance is lacking.
Arrange a one-on-one meeting with the employee to discuss performance issues in a private and supportive environment.
Create a PIP document detailing the performance issues, specific goals for improvement, and resources available to assist the employee.
Go through the PIP with the employee, ensuring they understand the expectations and goals set forth in the plan.
Establish a clear timeline for when progress should be made and schedule regular check-ins to monitor improvement.
Offer necessary resources, such as training or mentorship, to help the employee succeed in meeting the performance goals.
Conduct regular evaluations to assess the employee's progress towards meeting the improvement goals outlined in the PIP.
After the timeline has elapsed, assess whether the employee has successfully improved performance. Decide on the next steps, which may include removal of the PIP, further action, or other HR processes.
