What type of employee review is indicated with a PIP?

A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is specifically designed for situations where an employee's performance does not meet minimum expectations. It serves as a formal document that outlines areas in which the employee is underperforming and provides a structured plan to help them improve their performance over a certain period of time. The goal of a PIP is to assist the employee in meeting the organization's standards and addressing any specific deficiencies in their work.

The PIP process typically involves setting measurable goals, providing necessary resources or support, and outlining consequences if improvement is not achieved. This focused approach ensures that both the employee and the employer are aligned on expectations and the steps required for improvement.
