Maximizing Productivity Through Effective Communication and PIPs

Aside from general coaching documentation, Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) can be used not only to document performance concerns, but also to build (or rebuild) trust and drive performance if used thoughtfully. That might surprise you because PIPs tend to generate stress and anxiety, create opportunities for misunderstandings, fail to motivate the desired performance improvement, and lead employees to disengage. But what if there was more to the story? What if we they could illuminate a path forward and not just a path out? Join us for this engaging program as we explore practical tips and suggestions for navigating difficult conversations, providing constructive feedback, and preparing and delivering a PIP in a way that builds trust, provides support, and encourages real change.
