The First 6 months: Recruitment, Induction and Probation
2026-05-14 09:00 - 10:00 UTC | Virtual Online Event
We are delighted to invite you to Narrow Quay HR’s next HR Club session: The First 6 months: Recruitment, Induction and Probation, a practical, one-hour webinar designed to support in-house HR teams and anyone responsible for managing HR issues within their organisation. The session will take place online from 9am to 10am on Thursday, 14 May 2026.
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.
What we will cover:
– Effective recruitment
– The importance of the induction process
– The purpose and importance of probation periods
– Setting clear expectations and objectives during probation
– Conducting effective probation review meetings
– Addressing concerns or performance issues during probation
– Making informed decisions at the end of the probation period
– Practical dos and don’ts drawn from real-life scenarios
Who should attend?
This session is designed for business leaders, HR teams, line managers and anyone responsible for people and culture within their organisations.
We look forward to welcoming you to this insightful session, helping you prepare for these upcoming changes and manage probation periods effectively.
Speakers: Lisa Reynolds and Sarah Martin
