A performance improvement plan (PIP) is a clear, supportive roadmap that documents performance deficiencies, improvement objectives, assistance, measures, and deadlines. It should help an employee improve rather than function as a hidden exit strategy. section 16.1.3
A practical PIP dashboard tracks:
- Employee name, role, department, objectives, actions, metrics, deadlines, and KPI scores. section 16.1.3
- Milestones, action-item end dates, current status, and KPI trends shown through bar graphs. section 16.1.3
Example: Senior Database Administrator
Create an easy-to-update Excel dashboard for the employee’s PIP. Ask questions about objectives, milestones, and action items; suggest improvements; then track KPI scores over time and indicate whether each KPI is met. section 16.1.3
