HR Terminology
Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)
A PIP is a structured action plan initiated by a manager for their subordinate employees aimed at helping the employees who may not be meeting their job performance goals, including behaviour-related issues that may be recurrent. Simply put, it is a formal HR tool and a disciplinary measure meant to help an employee with performance deficiencies get back on track.
