Can a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) Actually Save an Employee’s Career?

Turning It Around: How a Well-Implemented PIP Can Save Careers

Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) often carry a negative stigma, but what if they could actually be a
turning point for your employees? In the Malaysian workplace, where saving face is important, how can you
use PIPs to genuinely help employees improve rather than just as a formal process?

The Stigma of PIPs:
Many see PIPs as the final step before termination. This perception is common in many Malaysian companies, where the focus might be more on compliance than on employee development. But when done right, a PIP can be a powerful tool for growth.

Reframing the PIP:
A PIP doesn’t have to be a death sentence for an employee’s career. By clearly outlining expectations, providing support, and offering regular feedback, you can turn a PIP into a plan for success rather than failure.
