A sustained improvement plan with observable evidence and scheduled feedback, beyond the initial difficult conversation.
IN PRACTICE
A situation you could face.
An annual review identifies recurring concerns. A good first conversation will not be enough. Build a longer plan with evidence that the changes last.
