The HR Room Podcast

Episode 227 - Performance, Probation and Common Pitfalls


Listen Later

Navigating the probation period is one of the most critical - and often misunderstood - phases of the employment journey. Far from being just a formality or an “easy exit” route, probation is a unique opportunity for both employers and employees to set the stage for long-term success.

So to talk to us today about making the most of it, and how to avoid common pitfalls, we’re delighted to be joined by Joe Thompson, Head of HR Services here at Insight HR.

 

In this episode we cover...

04:14 Distinguishing Conduct from Performance Issues

07:27 Common Pitfalls in Probation Management
12:28 The Importance of Probation Policies
15:46 Handling Serious Conduct Issues
19:59 Setting Up for Long-Term Success
26:05 The Role of Communication in Probation
