Yale New Haven Health is sharing an update on the Performance Incentive Plan (PIP) program goals and performance as of the end of quarter one, which was Dec. 30, 2025. See the employee intranet for details and the PIP results for your individual delivery network.
Results for Quality and Safety, Patient Experience and Financial Performance are meeting goals in some areas with more work to be done in others. The Culture of Excellence measure is based on participation in the Employee Engagement and Culture of Safety Survey which will take place later this year.
PIP is a discretionary rewards program for eligible employees in YNHHS organizations where the program is applicable. Employees are asked to collectively meet tiered goals and may receive a financial reward based on goal achievement. Goals are tied to YNHHS’ strategic priorities and designed to improve performance in essential areas.
The size of the reward shared by eligible employees at year-end is determined by the degree to which each entity achieves its goals – maximum exceeds expectations, target meets the goal, and threshold is acceptable, but falls short of target.
This year, eligible employees could potentially earn a PIP payout of up to 3 percent of their eligible earnings. Final payout will be based on hours and earnings during fiscal year 2026. To qualify for PIP, employees must work at least 1,000 hours during fiscal year 2026 and be active employees on the payout date. (This applies unless expressly superseded by a collective bargaining agreement.)
Final results will be announced after the end of the fiscal year. Any potential payout will be awarded in December 2026.
