Sample demotion letter to employee for poor performance: Dear [Employee's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. We have recently conducted a performance review, and it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that your performance has been consistently below the level expected from your position at our organization.

We have always valued your contributions and understand that everyone faces challenges at some point in their career. However, it is important for the organization to maintain high standards and ensure that all employees meet or exceed expectations.

Your new role as [New Position] will have revised responsibilities and a corresponding reduction in salary and benefits. Attached to this letter is a detailed job description outlining the new expectations and requirements. We believe that this change will give you the chance to rebuild your skills and work towards regaining a position that suits your abilities and potential within the organization.

We understand that this news may be disappointing, but we genuinely believe in your potential and value your contributions. We are committed to supporting you through this transition and helping you navigate the path towards professional growth and improved performance.
