Managing underperformance can be a difficult area, often with the potential to lead to stress, anxiety or conflict for both the manager and the underperformer. A performance improvement plan that is correctly implemented can structure the management process and facilitate a successful outcome. Through input, groupwork, discussion and roleplay, we will address the following questions:
- What is a PIP and when should it not be used?
- What preparation is needed before a PIP is implemented?
- What needs to be included in a PIP and how should this be framed and implemented?
- What sort of documentation is needed?
- How do we have the conversations?
- How do we minimise conflict?
Finally, we will draft a set of guidelines based on shared experience and best practice.
