Conducting effective probation periods

Level - Devolpoing

A probation period is more than a checkpoint. It's an opportunity to support new employees, build confidence, identify development needs and make fair decisions.

Getting probation right can reduce legal risks and improve employee relations.

This interactive Acas training session explores how to manage probation effectively from recruitment through to the final review meeting.


You'll learn how to:

  • set employees up for success from day one
  • structure effective probation review meetings
  • give constructive feedback that drives improvement
  • manage sickness absence and disability considerations fairly
  • make confident decisions about passing, extending or ending probation

Using practical exercises and case studies, you'll leave with the tools and confidence to handle probation consistently and fairly.
