Today, I want to talk about something that concerns many new hires: the probationary period. It’s understandable to feel a bit anxious about this phase, but let’s demystify it together.
First, it’s important to recognize that a probationary period is not just for the employer—it’s also for you. This period allows you both to assess if the fit is right, ensuring your skills, values, and career aspirations align with the organization's goals.
The probationary period is also key for learning, growth, and open communication. It's the perfect time to ask questions, receive feedback, and understand expectations, showcasing your dedication and willingness to contribute.
Employers should be conscious of the potential stress associated with the probationary period. Alleviating this involves providing a structured onboarding, clearly defined training, mentorship, frequent check ins, and ongoing feedback, laying the groundwork for success.
