By this time, your employee should be fully aware of their role and responsibilities, working independently and producing meaningful work. This is also the end of their probationary period. It is highly recommended that at the end of the six-month probationary period or within six months after transfer or promotion to a new position, you have a performance evaluation with your new employee.
Probationary Performance Evaluation
- Performance plan progress.
- Realign any expectations, if applicable.
- Considering asking:
- Are there skills/competencies you want to develop or improve?
- What would you like to accomplish in the next 6 months?
- Are there any challenges you have encountered that we can work through together?
- Are you feeling connected with your team?
- Recommend professional development opportunities that align with goals.
