The 30-Day PIP Framework, Measurable Standards, & the Conversation Script
This is not a written warning. It’s a documented decision tool.
Three tools. Five hiring stages. One clear action plan.
- Document three specific, dated examples of the performance gap — facts, not feelings.
- Define what “meeting the standard” actually looks like, in writing, before the conversation.
- Set the check-in schedule that keeps the plan alive past week one.
- Use the script to open the hard conversation without softening it into nothing.
- Uncover whether this is a training problem, a role misalignment, or the wrong hire.
- Leave with a signed PIP, a calendar of check-ins, and a defensible paper trail.
