Performance Improvement Plans aren’t failing because managers don’t care. They fail when managers don’t have a clear, fair way to tackle performance early – before it becomes formal.
Across public and third‑sector organisations, we see the same pattern: conversations get delayed, issues build up, and by the time a PIP starts, the relationship already feels strained. No wonder so many PIPs stall.
To help HR and L&D leaders change this, we’ve created The HR Leader’s Blueprint for Effective Performance Management – a short, practical guide that simplifies what actually works. It also includes a free trial of quick video resources you can use straight away.
In the Blueprint, you’ll uncover:
- The hidden blockers that cause PIPs to stall
- A simple four‑step structure for early, fair performance conversations
- Four practical things HR can roll out now to build manager confidence
If you want to reduce stress on HR, tackle issues earlier and give managers the confidence to act fairly and consistently, this Blueprint will help you get there.
