Hi All,
I have read different views about the probation period, the reason i believe, during probation any person can be reviewed. Its not easy to remove a person when he is confirmed and his notice period is also more than a month. But during probation, its easy to assess a new joinee on the deliverables and validate him. If he is found to be wrong hire, then we have every reasons to terminate his services during probation.
Probation period can be treated as observation period for the new joinee, and company also has liberty to access him, confirm or terminate based on his performance.
I suggest, we should have this probation for all levels.

My Dear Professionals,
The recuritment process for senior is althogether different in most of the organizations.
Here you need to understand first and formost what is the underlying recruitment parameters for the organizations & that too keeping in view below metioned areas of recruitment process
(1) Top/Senior Management
(2) Middle Management
(3) Lower rung Management
Question is do u have a policy for appointing senior management and do u have a say in it.
Is the position direcly appointed by the CEO/MD/Chairman....etc.
If you have a say, than u can control thru your policies(if they are in place). If not than hang on and consult with stake holders.
Is it that their KRA's, etc... cleared to them at the time of induction, bye the way do u have a induction for ever new employee. If not than u know very well.
If expectations and deliverables and not cleared in the beginning employees are going to falter and they are not at fault but you being a manager are at fault.
You are not a technician who does all the work, but you are a manger. So
Onus is on you if you havent clarified the expectations and deliverables ????????
well
overall
tricky question
you need to handle it in perview of your policies, stnadards and benchmarks.
Isnt it ?????????
All the best
Create standards flexible enough & stringent to control!!!!!

Well, as per my knowledge Probation period is very much there for senior professionals.
However, it depends on company to company basis.
During the probation period you can judge the performance of the employee, as well as employee himself gets time to settle in the new working environment.

Hey Seema
Following the communication thread I would definitely like to pour my opinion. Well, according to me the purpose of probation period is to offer a platform to both employees & employers to understang eachother's perspective, wherein employer gets an opportunity to determine the credibility & suitability of employees in the long term of employment, it also gives a chance to employees to understand the work climate & also get acclimatize to the organizational culture.
Thus, its not the years of experience an employee carries will detemine thta whether a probation period is required or rather it is the job of HR to inculcate & make employees aware about the motive behind the "Probation Period".
