Probation Goals and Expectations Setting
Start new employees with clear measures.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Write probation expectations for a new employee. Role and responsibilities: [ROLE_AND_RESPONSIBILITIES]. Probation length and review dates: [PROBATION_DETAILS]. What good performance looks like by month: [PERFORMANCE_MARKERS]. Produce a plan: 5 or 6 measurable expectations spread across the period (for example, learn the systems by week 4, handle customer queries independently by week 8), each with an observable standard, support provided, and the review date; a table of behaviors expected (communication, reliability, teamwork); and a note on how feedback will be given (weekly short check-ins, written summary at each review point). Include a welcome message explaining the plan in a supportive tone (120 words) and a signature block for acknowledgement. Remind the manager that expectations must be realistic and communicated early, and that probation rules and rights differ by place so HR or a lawyer should confirm for [JURISDICTION] [VERIFY]. Provide the expectations as a table with the goal, the standard, the evidence, the support, and the review date, and a wording for the welcome conversation that explains that feedback will be given regularly and that nothing in the review should be a surprise.
