Watch our short video on probation for more detail
How senior is the role?
What are the objectives?
What’s the potential reward?
Three very quick tips on probationary periods.
- Consider the level of seniority of the role. If they’re in a really senior position, they probably won’t need as much hand holding as somebody in a junior role.
- What objectives do you want them to meet in the probation period? Is it a high level project to deliver a four million pound saving, or is it to data entry x amount within a set period of time?
- What is the outcome going to be of that successful probation? Is it going to be a salary increase, perhaps they’re going to have a job title change. It may be that you put them in charge of more people, whatever that looks like, communication is key.
