This checklist outlines the steps necessary to create and implement an Employee Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for underperforming employees, ensuring fair and structured development opportunities.
Review employee performance data and feedback to identify specific areas where the employee is underperforming.
Create a written record of the performance issues, including dates, examples, and relevant metrics.
Arrange a private meeting with the employee to discuss the performance concerns and provide an opportunity for the employee to share their perspective.
Collaborate with the employee to outline specific, measurable goals for improvement, including a timeline for achieving these goals.
Identify and communicate the resources and support available to the employee to help them improve their performance.
Schedule regular check-ins to monitor progress and provide feedback throughout the duration of the improvement plan.
Assess the employee's performance at the conclusion of the improvement plan to determine if the goals were met and discuss next steps.
Document all actions taken during the PIP process and provide a copy to the employee for their records.
