Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) can be powerful tools for supporting struggling employees—but only when used effectively. This interactive webinar will explore what a PIP is (and isn’t), how to implement one with the goal of retention, and when it may be more appropriate to skip the PIP and proceed directly to termination.
This session will cover:
- Common myths and misperceptions about PIPs
- How to distinguish between performance issues and workplace misconduct
- Best practices for terminating employment respectfully and legally—especially when bypassing a PIP
You’ll also have the chance to share your own experiences and questions in the chat, and the presenters will wrap up with a live Q&A session. Whether you’re new to PIPs or looking to refine your approach, this session will offer practical insights you can apply right away.
