improvement plan

Path toward betterment

An improvement plan is a formal document outlining steps to address deficiencies in performance, behavior, or outcomes.

In workplaces, a performance improvement plan (PIP) typically sets specific goals an employee must meet within a defined timeframe to avoid termination: HR put him on a 90-day improvement plan.

The term appears in education, healthcare, and organizational contexts where structured remediation is required.
