Following strong interest in last year’s session, we’re running an updated webinar to revisit probationary periods and explore the latest employment law changes coming into force. These reforms will have significant implications for how employers manage new starters, assess performance during probation, and protect their organisation from legal risk.

In this session, we’ll provide a practical overview of what the changes mean for employers and how you can prepare now to avoid costly mistakes later. The webinar is designed to give business owners, HR professionals and managers clear, actionable guidance on strengthening their processes and ensuring their employment practices remain compliant.

Probationary Periods

Probationary periods will become an even more critical part of the employment lifecycle. Your probation clauses may effectively serve as your first line of defence if a role does not work out. We will outline what a robust, best-practice probation process should look like, including clear expectations, structured reviews and appropriate documentation.

We’ll also discuss how employers can manage probation periods in a way that supports fair and legally defensible dismissal where necessary, while avoiding the common pitfalls that can inadvertently give employees greater protection sooner than intended.
