Implement a probationary period for a new employee
Key points
A probationary period can help both the new employee and the employer to focus on what needs to be done to ensure that the employee performs well in the role.
The employer should review the employee's performance throughout the probationary period, identify any improvements necessary and take steps to assist the employee as appropriate.
