Course overview

Probation is meant to be the period where a poor fit is resolved cheaply, and it is usually a period where nothing is said and the appointment is confirmed by silence. This course covers using it properly.

  • Give a new employee a genuine chance to succeed
  • Assess performance against stated standards
  • Hold honest conversations during, not after
  • Extend, confirm or terminate defensibly
  • Keep records that support the decision
Who should attend
  • Human resources practitioners
  • Line managers supervising new employees
  • Supervisors confirming appointments
  • Business owners managing new hires
