Course Description

This course includes the use of artificial intelligence.

You have an underperformer on your team, and the manager expects action this week?

92% of managers use PIP as a formality before termination. The result — $28,000+ to replace an employee, months of hiring, and zero improvement in the team. And HR ends up with the reputation of a “paper pusher.”

This course offers a different approach. In just 3 sessions, you will build a PIP that actually works: with measurable goals, a conversation script, and a support plan. Students who implement this methodology bring up to 44% of underperformers back to normal performance — instead of wasting 6–9 months of salary on replacements.

What’s inside the course:

Step 1 — Diagnosis.
Learn when a PIP is truly needed and when feedback, coaching, or PDP is enough. Master the Root Cause Diagnostic and three types of underperformance: skill gap, will gap, system gap. Calculate the true cost of replacement (50–200% of annual salary) and get a 15-scenario checklist to decide “PIP or not?” in 10 minutes.

Step 2 — Building the PIP.
Create a real PIP for an employee in your company step by step: 7 mandatory elements that protect both the company and the employee. See live examples for three common issues — reporting errors, missed deadlines, and conflicts. Get a library of 50+ SMART goal statements and a word-for-word PIP conversation script: plan delivery, mid-check-in, and final meeting (success or exit). Learn legal nuances and use AI prompts to generate goals and check compliance.

Step 3 — Implementation.
Build a full PIP process in your company: RACI roles matrix, initiation calendar, and adaptations for new hires, senior specialists, and remote teams. Set up a dashboard with 5 key metrics (Success Rate, PIP-to-Termination Rate, Post-PIP Retention, Time to Improvement, Legal Claim Rate) and benchmarks. Get a 30-minute manager training program, scripts for handling 5 common objections, and a ROI calculator to defend the process to your CEO. Walk away with a 3-month implementation roadmap.

6 ready-to-use tools you’ll take away:

  • PIP Readiness Checklist — 15 scored scenarios

  • PIP Template — core 7-section template (40% pre-filled)

  • PIP Conversation Script — exact wording for 3 meetings

  • PIP Goals Library — 50+ SMART goal examples

  • PIP Process Roadmap — 3-month rollout plan

  • PIP Dashboard + ROI Calculator — metrics, formulas, benchmarks

Plus 5 AI prompts to automate PIP workflows in Claude and ChatGPT.

Why enroll now:

Every month of delay means another underperformer, a burned-out manager, and budget lost on replacement hiring. After just 3 sessions, you’ll answer “what should we do with this employee?” in 1 day instead of 2 months.

What you’ll get:

  • Lifetime access to all materials and future updates

  • Active instructor support (Q&A)

  • Certificate of Completion

  • Practical, job-ready skills

  • Real business cases and tools

  • Access to a student community

  • A $1000 program at a significantly reduced price

Click “Enroll” — and within an hour, you’ll have a ready-to-use PIP for a real employee in your company.
