Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) & Termination of Employment
Your organisation is either keeping underperformers indefinitely because managers fear a wrongful dismissal claim, or terminating employees without the documented process that makes the decision legally defensible.
Participants learn to design and execute a legally sound Performance Improvement Plan — and, where performance does not improve, to proceed with termination in a manner that is fair, documented, and resistant to Industrial Court challenge. Organisations gain HR and managers who handle underperformance decisively without creating legal liability.
Key Outcomes
Design a structured PIP with measurable targets, timelines, and documented support commitments
Conduct performance counselling conversations that are documented, fair, and legally defensible
Apply the constructive and direct dismissal standards under Malaysian employment law
