The question I get a lot is, “when should a supervisor issue a PIP”? First, performance improvement plans are not to be ‘issued’ like you would a speeding ticket. PIP’s should be designed as helpful tools to assist employees on their path to performance improvement and success. Second, this type of tool can be initiated at any time the supervisor and/or the employee identifies a weak area that needs to be worked on. Shifting the concept of the purpose of PIP’s can go a long way in achieving positive and lasting results. This course reviews the purpose of PIP’s, communication skills, and what to do when outcomes are achieved, or not.
