A PID can occur at any time, including during a period when an employee is under formal corrective action. Although a PID is an informal, non-disciplinary discussion, it is formally documented in a written memo. In addition, it requires specific pre- and post-discussion documentation by supervisors. Employees who are represented by unions are entitled to have a representative present during a PID.\nPPP Documents Needed:\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uofi.box.com/s/lxrgvd392ijfp4mb9f6ihxaz5xshtg7r\" \u0014Pre-Meeting Checklist Template\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uofi.box.com/s/2u72slzcegla4wvjz614jpojs5d0xvsv\" \u0014Post-Meeting Checklist Template\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uofi.box.com/s/peiu276izy2isjr3jg77lyus9hqhpfaq\" \u0014Performance Improvement Discussion Memo Template\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uofi.app.box.com/file/944259705810?s=lo9yg1pqr8u69b3up300k536f4w8a1qo\" \u0014Steps of a Performance Improvement Discussion\u0015\nPreparing for the Performance Improvement Discussion (PID):\nConduct a thorough investigation of the situation or incident to make sure your facts are correct.\nReview any notes of previous coaching sessions or informal discussions held with the employee about the issue.\nComplete the pre-meeting checklist.\nPlanning the PID meeting:\nDetermine a suitable location for the meeting such as the supervisor’s office or another secluded area.\nDetermine how the employee will be notified of the meeting. Advance notice is not required. Supervisors may call the employee in to meet immediately. Optionally, supervisors may schedule the meeting in advance and notify the employee of the meeting details (date, time, location, etc.).\nConducting the PID meeting:\nHave the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uofi.box.com/s/lxrgvd392ijfp4mb9f6ihxaz5xshtg7r\" \u0014pre-meeting checklist\u0015 and \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://uofi.app.box.com/file/944259705810?s=lo9yg1pqr8u69b3up300k536f4w8a1qo\" \u0014Steps of a PID\u0015 readily available. Using the pre-meeting checklist, follow the steps of the PID meeting guidelines closely.\nSteps of the PID Meeting:\nGreet the employee. Inform him/her that the meeting is a Performance Improvement Discussion. NOTE: If the employee requests a union representative, immediately end the meeting and reschedule to allow for a representative.\nState the Actual Performance AND THEN state the Desired Performance (I have a problem and I need your help).\nAllow the employee an opportunity to respond (What can you tell me about this?).\nBring up any previous discussions about the problem AND tell the employee the specific change in performance you expect.\nAsk for an agreement/commitment – If the employee agrees/commits, go to step #8 and end the meeting on a positive note (see below).\nState the Impact – the good business reasons why the problem must be solved.\nAsk for an agreement/commitment – If the employee agrees/commits go to step #8 and end the meeting on a positive note (see below).\nState the Consequences – the logical consequences the individual will face if he/she fails to correct the situation.\nAsk for agreement/commitment.\nIf the employee has not given an agreement/commitment you must mandate compliance and reiterate the Consequences.
