Probation Review

The success of any employee in a new job – whether new hire or existing employee transferring to a new position – depends just as much on the Hiring Manager as the new hire. Due diligence may be done to hire the best candidate, but those first few months on the job are the Hiring Manager's best opportunity to make sure expectations are met and bad habits aren't formed.

The guides and templates in this Kit contain tools and processes to set expectations and evaluate performance during the probationary period. Providing them to your Hiring Managers clearly communicates company expectations when it comes to managing probationary periods, and equips managers to meet them.

What is the Probationary Periods kit?

The HR Toolkit includes 22 ready-to-assemble HR kits. Each kit provides:

  • A mini crash course for this HR topic. Learn more
  • HR processes. Templates in a kit were created as a family of related Microsoft Word & Excel documents that can connect to and reference each other and make sense as a grouping. They can be used to create end-to-end HR processes for your staff,  managers, and HR. Learn more

See what our customers have to say about ConnectsUs™ products.

  • "...In a small business, best HR practices are sometimes not implemented due to a lack of resources or HR knowledge. With ConnectsUs products, we were able to implement them quickly and easily."

    Chris Breikss | President, 6S Marketing Inc. | New York, New York

  • “…We were constantly “reinventing” the wheel when it came to establishing even the most basic administrative policies, procedures and templates (we were constantly “borrowing” examples from our sister organizations).  Your product provides us with virtually everything we were looking for in one nice, neat customizable package.”

    Brenda Taillefer | Executive Assistant, Athabasca Watershed Council

  • I just wanted to write to say that ConnectsUs HR™ for Consultants is truly a gift. I've been searching for this type of support with other service providers with no luck. The templates and Resource Center you have created are so helpful, and provide a comprehensive menu of topics, best practices and well-written content that would have taken months to create from scratch. In most cases, my clients don't want to wait long to see results. I am very thankful to have found your product that makes me look so good!

    Thank you again!
