In this video, I want to talk to you about employment probation. Specifically, are we using these probationary periods to compensate for a bad employee recruitment process?
When I started working, we had a three-week probationary period. I wasn't hired on core values; they just hired me and gave me a trial period. It was very hit and miss. It was all about getting people through the door and trying them out.
In the 1980's this approach was common because there were plenty of people to hire. What people didn't consider was the financial impact on the business. It was just an accepted part of the process back then.
The reality is that this kind of employment probation is no longer a viable option. In the last thirty years it's amazing how our understanding has developed. Part of the employee recruitment process should include making sure that you have tangible core values that you and your organization believe in.
Some organizations don't have clearly defined core values. What happens is that the recruitment is done without a proper process. They go for aptitude rather than attitude. No matter how long the probationary period lasts, people use it as a get-out-of-jail clause.
When you start out working, you're probably going to see the best of your employees. If you don't, consider if you've hired correctly. If you hire on core values and have a solid employee recruitment process, why do you need more than a three-day employment probation?
