"Relatively few people go from PIP back to a valued, productive employee."

I hear this often, but as a counterpoint, the last time i looked, at the companies i've worked, the PIP success rate was closer to 50%.

(and those that succeeded did not have meaningfully higher attrition rates, etc)

Like anything, i guess it depends on your company's real underlying goal. IE if you really are trying to get people to perform better vs just trying to make a paper trail to get rid of them.
