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.

The delegates will be better equipped to deal with underperformance in a way that leads to a positive outcome while minimising stress and anxiety for both the manager and the underperformer.
