Treat your staff like family. Moving them to a PIP (Performance improvement Plan) or even a Counseling warning without first giving weeks of daily feedback on their performance and ongoing CAP's (Coaching Action plans) with regular meetings is a slap in the face and a sign of lack of expertise on your behalf.
Staff should understand the reasons why they are moving to a PIP, even embrace it and thank you for it. If this did not happen you need to take a look at your process before you delivered a PIP in the future.

Don't use a PIP as a "Bully" tactic o get what you want or to stamp your authority, you loose credibility with the rest of your team and will soon find yourself in a fast spiral of destruction.
