The probation period should not be wielded as a threat. A recent incident highlights the impact of mismanagement during this critical phase. An individual, despite their expertise, faced uncertainty early into the probationary period when their manager ambiguously stated, "You are still with us," upon returning from vacation. Imagine the toll this ambiguity takes on an employee with dependents, a substantial salary, and a wealth of experience. It's crucial for managers and HR professionals to approach probation with empathy and strategic development. Extending the probation to six months allows for a comprehensive evaluation and tailored improvement plans. This thoughtful approach ensures fair assessment and the opportunity for an individual to thrive under different leadership if necessary. Respecting the human aspect of probation not only fosters a positive work environment but also nurtures talent effectively. #HumanResources #EmployeeDevelopment #ManagementInsights

The Challenges of Extended Probation Periods Lately, I've noticed a growing trend of companies extending probation periods for new hires. While there are valid reasons for these extensions, it's important to acknowledge the potential downsides, especially when it comes to feedback. Understanding the Challenges: 1. Performance Pressure: Extended probation can add pressure on employees, impacting their performance and morale. 2. Feedback Reliability: Unfortunately, feedback during probation isn't always objective. Some seniors may provide biased or unfair feedback, which can be disheartening and counterproductive. 3. Uncertainty: Prolonged probation periods can create uncertainty, making it difficult for employees to feel secure and fully integrated into the team. Navigating the Situation: 1. Request Multiple Perspectives: Seek feedback from various colleagues to get a well-rounded view of your performance. 2. Document Your Work: Keep a record of your achievements and progress. This can help you demonstrate your value objectively. 3. Open Communication: If you feel feedback is unfair, discuss it with HR or your supervisor. Clear, open communication can often resolve misunderstandings. It's crucial for companies to ensure that probation extensions are handled with fairness and transparency. Constructive, unbiased feedback is key to fostering a positive and productive work environment. #WorkplaceChallenges #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #EmployeeExperience

📆 Maximising Success with Effective Probation Periods 📆 Probation periods are a critical aspect of the hiring process. Here's why they're so important and how to make the most of them: 1. Mutual Assessment: Probation allows both the employer and the new employee to assess if the fit is right. It's a period for evaluating skills, work ethic, and cultural fit. 2. Adaptation Period: New hires get the opportunity to adapt to the company culture and understand their role in a practical setting. This adjustment period is key for long-term success. 3. Set Clear Objectives: Clearly define the goals and expectations for the probation period. This helps new employees understand what they need to achieve. 4. Regular Feedback: Provide continuous feedback during the probation period. Constructive feedback helps new hires improve and grow into their roles. 5. Decision Making: At the end of the probation period, make informed decisions about the employee's future in the company. This decision should be based on well-documented performance and fit. 🌟 A well-managed probation period can lead to successful, long-term employee relationships, benefiting both the individual and the organisation. https://buff.ly/3v93MzL #ProbationaryPeriod #EmployeeAssessment #HRManagement

Six month probation completed successfully! Manager notes all I need to do is carry on doing what I'm doing. I've joined a successfully and professional multi-national business. The only problem with small, family like businesses is they are frequently poorly run, vulnerable to short term market reversals and are often toxic and dysfunctional, like many families. The contrasts between this role and previous ones is startling: I've joined a team and not just been promised one. 1 to 1's have been almost fortnightly and not twice in my probationary period. My appraisal contained nothing surprising. My manager is on-site and always contactable, the level of support I have received has been superb, rather than absent. My manager isn't run ragged with menial tasks like cleaning blocked urinals. HR are friendly and approachable. I have a statutory Workplace Pension! I'm much happier working in a modern, professional workplace with a team around me for considerably more money. Tonight I shall raise a glass and toasting my success, Linde Material Handling and Hays IT. 🍺

The initial 3 months 😲😱😰the employee point of view. The probation period in a new job can be a time filled with anticipation and pressure, especially from an employee's perspective. During this period, employees often feel the need to prove themselves, showcase their skills, and demonstrate their value to the company. The pressure stems from various factors, including the desire to secure a permanent position, meet expectations set during the hiring process, and establish a positive reputation within the organization. Additionally, there may be internal competition or a sense of comparison with colleagues, further intensifying the pressure to perform. Employees in the probation period often strive to excel in their roles, adapt quickly to the company's culture and processes, and seek feedback to continuously improve. This period is crucial for building trust and credibility with managers and peers, as well as laying the foundation for long-term success in the role. While the pressure can be daunting, it can also serve as a motivating factor for employees to push their limits, learn new skills, and make a positive impact. Employers play a crucial role during this time by providing support, guidance, and constructive feedback to help employees navigate the challenges of the probation period and succeed in their roles.

The first three months of your employment is often called the probationary period because it’s when employers closely evaluate your performance and suitability for the role. During this time, making a positive impression and proving that you're the right fit for the job is crucial.

Understanding the Probationary Period: It’s a Two-Way Street During your probationary period, remember that it's not just the company evaluating you—you're also evaluating the company. If, at the end of this period, the company feels you haven't met the required standards, they have the option to let you go. But it's important to know that you also have the power to make a decision. Maybe the company culture isn't what you were led to believe during onboarding. Perhaps the company's values and objectives don't align with your expectations or, worse, there's been a breach of contract on their part. It's essential to understand that probation isn't just about proving your worth to the company—it's also about determining whether the company is the right fit for you. Evaluate them as they evaluate you. Your career journey should be a mutually beneficial relationship. #CareerGrowth #ProbationPeriod #EmployeeRights #CompanyCulture #JobSatisfaction #WorkplaceValues #EmployeeEmpowerment #LinkedInTips
