Evaluating the probation period with a new employee

This template helps you conduct a clear and structured evaluation conversation with a new employee at the end of the probation period. In three clear sections – job satisfaction, performance, and collaboration – you discuss the most important experiences from the first period. Think of first impressions, guidance, alignment of the role with expectations, and how collaboration with colleagues is going. The combination of open questions and rating scales makes it easy to get to the core quickly. You’ll gain immediate insight into what’s going well and where there’s room for improvement. This provides a strong foundation for further growth within the team. Ideal for HR professionals and team leads who want to guide new employees in a personal and goal-oriented way during their first months.
