While a performance improvement plan (PIP) is meant to be used as a development tool, it should rarely be used and only as a last resort due to the potential to negatively impact future performance conversations. The PIP Conversation Role Play Scenarios covers emotional reactions employees may have to a PIP, including:
- Distress
- Anger
- Denial
- Indifference
- Avoidance or deflection
Allow managers to practice with a variety of role play scenarios that will help them prepare for PIP discussions.
