How long should a probationary period be? Why is it important for new employees? And as an employer, can you extend it?

A probationary period can be an HR minefield. We’ve compiled a step-by-step guide to implementing a programme that protects you while ensuring new employees have the best possible induction. After all, employees work much better when they are clear on expectations.

This is a helpful guide for SMEs, ensuring you are able to communicate new starters’ roles and responsibilities from week one.
