With the upcoming changes in 2027, reducing the qualifying period for unfair dismissal to six months and removing the compensation cap, effective probation management will become more critical than ever. Strong probationary practices, alongside effective recruitment and induction, are vital tools for onboarding and retaining talent while managing organisational risks.

This session will provide practical tools, insights into good practice, and highlight common pitfalls, enabling you to approach recruitment, induction, and probationary periods with greater confidence and consistency.

Speakers: Caitlin Anniss and Sarah Martin
