Introducing Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs), a comprehensive solution for managing employee performance improvement with structured goals, regular check-ins, and measurable outcomes. This feature enables HR, managers, and employees to work together on performance improvement with clear accountability and tracking.

What's New

Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) provide a structured approach to helping employees improve their performance. HR/Admin can create PIPs with performance issues, timelines (30, 60, or 90 days), and support resources.
