Step-by-step procedures for writing and implementing your performance-improvement plan

Every workplace has one—the employee whose performance has been sliding for months with no sign of improvement. Or the promising new hire who just isn’t delivering. It happens in every industry, and when it does, cutting the cord can feel like the obvious answer.

But terminating an employee, if done incorrectly, carries serious legal risk. A poorly handled separation can quickly become an expensive lawsuit.

The smarter path? A well-crafted performance-improvement plan.

Done right, a PIP sets objective, achievable goals that hold up to legal scrutiny, gives struggling employees a genuine opportunity to course-correct and protects your organization if termination ultimately becomes necessary. Done wrong, it looks like you set the employee up to fail—and a plaintiff’s attorney will make sure a jury knows it.

On May 14, our expert will walk you through step-by-step procedures for writing and implementing legally sound PIPs—from accurate job descriptions and defensible performance reviews to individualized plans that minimize risk and, when possible, save good employees.

WEBINAR AGENDA:

• Why accurate, up-to-date job descriptions are essential for every worker and a supervisor’s best friend—and how to draft them.
• Getting buy-in during performance reviews so that employees know exactly what’s expected and what comes next.
• How to set realistic, objective job goals for every position, including for struggling employees.
• How to exclude impermissible factors from evaluations and recalculate goals based on missed work due to FMLA leave or disability accommodations.
• Why HR needs to compare prior worker PIP plans to the proposed PIP to assure fairness and consistency.
• Creating an individualized PIP based on not reaching performance review goals or other workplace problems like tardiness and behavioral problems.
• Why HR needs to be involved from day one and should always perform a final review before discharge to guard against supervisor bias.
