New Online Course: Probationary Period Management Training
We’re pleased to introduce our latest online programme: Probationary Period Management Training.
This CPD-certified course provides essential guidance on managing probationary periods that support employees and meet legal requirements. It explains the purpose of probation, outlines employee rights during this time, and highlights best practices for onboarding, performance monitoring and final decision-making.
The course is designed to help line managers, team leaders, HR officers, supervisors, and small business owners understand their responsibilities during probationary periods. It supports successful onboarding while reducing the risk of underperformance going unaddressed, disputed dismissals, or legal non-compliance.
Why Is Probationary Period Management Training Important?
Probationary periods give employers an opportunity to evaluate whether a new employee is a good fit for the role. However, despite greater flexibility during this stage, employees are still entitled to statutory rights from their first day.
Employers must act in line with legal requirements, including providing appropriate notice, avoiding discrimination, and ensuring that any termination decisions are supported by clear and fair processes. Failing to do so can result in wrongful dismissal claims, even during probation.
This course helps you understand how to manage probation fairly, consistently, and in line with employment law, including the planned changes regarding day-one employee protections.
