What a load of bull. The best part:
"Take the threat out of it".
Yeah. If the employee does not realise the threat imposed by a PIP then he/she is an idiot and should be fired immediately.
- ash 13y agoI think the speaker said it's better to try to fix things for 3 months without signing any formal agreement at first (== threat).
- invalidOrTaken 13y ago> ...formal agreement (== threat). Sorry, it just ain't so. Like the grandparent said, the employee's probably not an idiot, and threat is present from the very beginning, even if unintentionally.
- joshyeager 13y agoI think his point is that a formal PIP ratchets up the pressure and reduces the employee's ability to focus on actually improving. If delaying the formal PIP helps them improve their performance enough so that you don't have to fire them, that is a great outcome.
