Use objective data and specific examples to define the performance gaps without ambiguity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a private, respectful conversation to discuss concerns, listen to the employee\u2019s perspective, and understand any underlying challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collaborate to establish realistic, measurable performance objectives and timelines for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Offer training, mentoring, or tools that can help the employee overcome obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schedule follow-up meetings to review improvements, provide feedback, and adjust plans as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acknowledge and celebrate progress to motivate continued growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If performance does not improve despite support, be prepared to follow formal performance management or HR procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
