Performance Improvement Plan: An Inclusive Guide

Managing underperformance requires more than documentation, it requires structured diagnosis, fair intervention, inclusive leadership, and legal defensibility. This 2-day intensive workshop equips managers, HR practitioners, and leaders with the frameworks and practical tools to design, implement, and monitor effective Performance Improvement Plans (PIP). Participants will learn how to differentiate performance gaps from misconduct, conduct root cause analysis, structure measurable improvement plans, document progress professionally, and manage difficult conversations with empathy and confidence. Participants will leave with ready-to-use templates, case simulations, documentation guides, and structured PIP frameworks to reduce risk while driving performance accountability
