Probation review form template

£ 15

Our Probation Review Form Template streamlines evaluation, ensuring consistent and objective assessments during the probationary period.

This model review form contains key areas which may require review within a formal evaluation of the performance of a new employee.

In addition, understanding whether the employee fits in to the culture of the organisation is vital, so it is recommended that an assessment of their performance against Core Values (if you have them) is also reviewed.

What is a Probation review form?

The purpose of a Probation Review Form Template is to facilitate the evaluation and assessment of an employee's performance and suitability during their probationary period.

The form provides a structured and standardised way for managers or supervisors to review the employee's progress, strengths, areas for improvement, and overall performance against the set probationary objectives. It helps ensure consistency and fairness in the evaluation process by guiding managers to provide specific feedback and document any concerns or achievements during the probationary period. The template also allows for discussions on the employee's career development, training needs, and potential for confirmation in the role.

Ultimately, the Probation Review Form Template aids in making informed decisions about whether the employee should be confirmed in the position, given further support or training, or if their employment should be terminated based on performance during the probationary period.
