This Corrective Action & Performance Improvement Plan Template Pack will help you recap recent employee performance discussions and document areas requiring immediate attention.
The responsibility for carrying out corrective actions in a corrective action plan depends on the situation, but can involve the employee, supervisor/manager, cross-functional team, or the HR department.
Corrective Action Plans address specific incidents or problems in an attempt to rectify the issue and prevent its recurrence. Performance Improvement Plans have a broader scope, targeting overall performance deficiencies and supporting long-term improvement. CAPs are more immediate and time-bound, while PIPs are comprehensive and can span longer. CAPs often respond to specific incidents, while PIPs address overall performance growth.
