[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I disagree with all the posters above. No, sorry no errands during the day. You have an hour during lunch, but any more than that should be annual leave. Your start and end times are flexible, but while working you need to be continuously working.

I would talk to HR. Mine has been incredibly supportive of PIPs when I needed them. They told me what to say and even were on the call with me. As a manager, your work (or at least a large portion of it) is getting your team to work. If you can't get your employees to work, you are failing at your own job. Being a manager is hard, but hold the line now or else it gets worse quickly. Poor managers who can't manage their employees soon lose the good ones and get stuck with the bad ones who are unable to leave. [/quote]

Sure.  But focusing on "time in the seat" is less effective management than focusing on the OUTCOME. The job isn't getting done.  Focus on that.  Part of the job should include responsiveness and set a clear window of timeframes for this employee if you feel they aren't getting it right.  It's the first step, before a PIP.
