Talos Perform – Probation Cycles Check-In Template

Give every new starter the best possible start

A good probation process shouldn’t be a box-ticking exercise.

It’s an opportunity to set clear expectations, spot where support is needed and make sure new employees and their managers are having the right conversations from day one.

Our free probation review templates give you a practical framework for running structured, consistent probation cycles, without starting from scratch.

What’s included?

Use the templates to build a probation process that keeps managers and new starters aligned throughout those crucial first few months.

You’ll get practical templates to help structure key stages of the probation period, including:

• Clear objectives and expectations
• Manager and employee check-ins
• Progress and performance discussions
• Development and support needs
• Formal probation review conversations
• End-of-probation outcomes and next steps

Whether your probation period lasts three months, six months or follows a different structure, you can adapt the templates to suit the way your organisation works.

Turn probation into a better employee experience

Starting a new role comes with a lot to take in. When expectations are unclear or conversations are left until the end of probation, small issues can quickly become bigger ones.

A structured probation cycle helps you:

Set expectations from the start

Give new starters a clear understanding of what success looks like in their role and what they should be working towards.

Keep conversations happening

Build regular check-ins into the probation period so managers can recognise progress, give feedback and address concerns early.

Give Managers more confidence

Provide a consistent framework so managers know what to discuss, what to document and what happens next.

Create a clear record

Keep track of objectives, feedback, support and key decisions throughout the probation period rather than trying to piece everything together at the end.
