Welcome to the Probationary Periods training course.
A probationary period plays a vital role in the employment lifecycle. It allows employers to assess whether a new hire suits the role, while giving employees the chance to decide if the business is right for them. When managed effectively, probation periods build strong working relationships, improve retention, and boost overall performance. However, without clear communication and structure, they can create uncertainty, frustration, and potential legal risks.
This course guides you through how to implement and manage probationary periods with confidence. You will learn the legal and contractual requirements, how to track performance, carry out reviews, and address issues early.
The training also covers best practices for documentation, explains how to fairly extend or end a probation period, and offers practical tips to support employees throughout. Whether you’re onboarding new staff or promoting existing team members, this course equips you with the knowledge to manage probation periods clearly and effectively.
This text based course is 15 minutes and includes the following section:
- Probationary Periods : Learn what  a Probationary period is and how should Employers or HR Managers use them. Explore how to setup a probationary review, appeal process and if the probationary period needs to be longer.
By the end of the Probationary Periods course you will understand what a probationary period is. The key elements it includes and how to effectively manage employees during this stage, including handling potential termination.
