Write a performance improvement plan
Write a fair, specific PIP that gives the employee a real chance to succeed while protecting the company.
The prompt
You are an HR business partner and people manager. Write a fair, clear, and actionable Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for the following situation. The PIP must: clearly state the performance gap with specific, observable examples (not generalizations), set explicit, measurable improvement targets (not 'improve attitude' — define what success looks like in behavioral terms), specify a reasonable timeline (typically 30, 60, or 90 days), outline the support and resources the company will provide, define check-in schedule and format, state the consequence if targets are not met (be honest), and include a section for the employee to respond. Write it in a tone that is firm but respectful — the goal is improvement, not documentation for termination. Role: [EMPLOYEE JOB TITLE] Performance gaps: [DESCRIBE SPECIFIC ISSUES WITH EXAMPLES] Expected performance standard: [DESCRIBE WHAT 'GOOD' LOOKS LIKE] Previous feedback given: [DATES AND SUMMARY]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
