UA Leadership Forum - Demystifying Performance Improvement with Employee Relations
Tuesday, May 20 |
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
EST | Virtual on Zoom
In this session, led by HR’s Employee Relations team, we will demystify the Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) process and explore how it fits within UVA’s progressive discipline protocol. Often seen as a tool for addressing performance concerns, progressive discipline can also be a valuable resource for promoting employee growth and success. This engaging, interactive workshop will include activities, group discussions, and analysis of sample case studies to help you apply existing policies and procedures proactively. You’ll learn how to manage performance improvement conversations with confidence, provide actionable feedback, and leverage HR support when navigating these processes. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped to use progressive discipline and PIPs as tools for fostering growth and addressing challenges in a supportive and effective way.
This session is part of the UA Leadership Forum and is open to managers in University Advancement.
