Overview

When an employee’s performance does not meet expectations, we believe they deserve clear communication and an opportunity to turn the situation around.

Once this Performance Improvement Plan Form has been modified for your company, it will be used by HR and Managers with direct reports to communicate expectations, document an action plan, and track progress helps facilitate what is likely to be a difficult conversation between a manager and employee. By putting expectations in writing and measuring progress against observable goals, the conversation focuses on clear, objective outcomes versus vague feelings and emotions.

Why use it

To ensure that problems with performance challenges are addressed and not ignored
To document expectations and a clear plan for both the employee and manager
To provide as evidence to support a decision to terminate employment, should that become necessary.

What you risk by not using it

Employees not meeting expectations don't know that they aren't
Miscommunication between manager and employee – the manager thinks she's communicated expectations clearly but the employee hasn't picked up on her 'hints'
A decision to terminate employment has no evidence to support it should the action be challenged in court
High severance costs to terminate a chronically under-performing employee

I just wanted to write to say that ConnectsUs HR™ for Consultants is truly a gift. I've been searching for this type of support with other service providers with no luck. The templates and Resource Center you have created are so helpful, and provide a comprehensive menu of topics, best practices and well-written content that would have taken months to create from scratch.
