Overview

Performance improvement plans (PIP) are a common tool used by employers when employee performance falls below expectations. A PIP sets out expected performance standards, a timeline for improvement, and the measures the employer is providing to allow the employee an opportunity to improve. 

Why you should Attend

Most employers have general familiarity with PIPs; however, they do not fully appreciate the elements of a PIP, when they should be used, and how to implement them to ensure they serve their intended purpose. 

PIPs can also be a source of liability for employers if they are not cautious of, for example, human rights risk. 

This webinar will allow employers to identify when PIPs are appropriate, how to craft an effective PIP, how to monitor and respond if the PIP does not produce the desired results, and how to consider alternative approaches from a PIP in certain circumstances.
