Creating a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) That Works

November 13

Learn how to create effective, legally sound Performance Improvement Plans that drive employee growth, enhance accountability, and support long-term retention.

Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) are one of the more misunderstood tools in workforce management. Too often, they are seen as a last step before termination rather than a proactive strategy to support employee growth and organizational performance. This live webinar—Creating a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) That Works—will help human resource managers, payroll and benefits professionals, controllers, CFOs, attorneys, and business leaders transform PIPs into effective tools for improvement, accountability, and retention.

Attendees will learn how to design fair, transparent, and results-driven PIPs that balance organizational needs with employee development. By understanding the key elements of successful PIPs, avoiding common missteps, and applying proven communication and legal strategies, participants will leave with a clear framework they can immediately apply in their own organizations.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to describe a clear, actionable framework for implementing results-driven PIPs that support accountability and improve retention.
  • You will be able to discuss how to develop fair and transparent PIPs using practical communication techniques and legally sound practices.
  • You will be able to identify the core components of an effective Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) that promotes both employee development and organizational goals.
  • You will be able to recognize common misconceptions and pitfalls associated with PIPs and learn strategies to avoid them.
