Performance improvement plan consultation

A structured review of your PIP, the stated measures and the practical choices available before the next deadline.

Documents and pen on a desk

Who this is for

This consultation is for employees in Germany who have received a formal performance improvement plan, a written warning linked to performance, or an invitation to a meeting where such a plan may be introduced. It is especially useful when expectations feel broad, deadlines are short, or the written record differs from earlier feedback.

What we examine

We read the plan against your role description, recent objectives, meeting notes and the evidence you can reasonably collect. We identify unclear measures, missing baselines, dependencies outside your control and questions that should be put back to the employer. The session is practical employment consultation, not legal representation and not a promise about the outcome.

Included

  • Advance review of up to 20 pages supplied at least one working day before the call
  • A 90-minute confidential consultation
  • Preparation for the next manager or HR meeting
  • A written action summary within one working day
  • Clear signposting where an employment lawyer, works council or union should be involved

Not included

We do not contact your employer, draft litigation documents, certify evidence or replace advice from a German-qualified lawyer. Translation and review beyond 20 pages can be quoted separately.

Before the session

Send the PIP or meeting invitation, your current role description and the few documents most relevant to the stated concerns. Remove unrelated sensitive information. Note the next deadline and the outcome you need from the consultation.

The next step

Use the enquiry form to describe the document and deadline. We confirm fit and availability before requesting any files.
