Mandatory Review of Poor Performance in Foreign Service Promotions.

This legislation mandates that the tenure and promotion process for Foreign Service officers must include a review of all Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) issued over the preceding five years due to unacceptable performance. The goal is to ensure that a history of poor work is considered during career advancement decisions, thereby increasing accountability and potentially improving the quality of U.S. diplomacy. While directly affecting government employees, this change aims to raise the standards of those representing the U.S. abroad.
