If still no improvement then another formal meeting, issue final warning, set more targets etc. Still no improvement then sack them.
Seems simple to me, manage them properly.

works fine in principle ,long winded and usually expensive for the company involved or the tax payer if it happens in the public sector .Private companies usually have no problem in identifying the slackers but getting rid of them is a long winded process

Just out of interest, how can you assert that this is factually correct, especially your "especially" comment?
What is the quantifiable basis for your assertion?

nothing to do with the coalition (don't know where you get from)but anyway ,i see it and experience it everyday.I see manual workers for local authorities (who i work alongside of)doing just enough to stay the right side of the negotiated work rate which is embarrassingly low,I experience the loss of work because some paper pusher within the local authority has continually done a half assed job on a scale that would not be tolerated anywhere else .Only today on an estate i am fitting on we have discovered that 85 windows have been manufactured wrongly because the council ,or more precisely ,someone within the clerk of works dept didn't check the specs properly ,and not for the first time ,so that now means they have to be re manufactured and refit at great cost to the council which in turn means that roughly 9 houses won't get new windows ,which will be a loss of work for the company i sub contract to ,all because someone couldn't' be arsed or didn't know their job well enough .
I feel sure that everyone knows someone at work who coasts along doing the bear minimum and in my experience the public sector is awash with them
