PIP (Performance Improvement Plan)
Formal plan with measurable goals to address underperformance.
A well-run PIP is honest about expectations, time-bound (30/60/90 days), and gives the employee a real path. A badly-run one is a fig leaf for a decision already made.
The legal and ethical bar is the same: clear expectations, support to meet them, consistent application across employees, and documented evidence at each checkpoint.
Keep going. Cross-pollinate.
