It is important to ensure that your new employees are making the most of their induction programme, and that any problems are addressed at any early stage. Use this questionnaire as a basis for discussing progress with each new team member, and detailing what action is necessary to address issues that arise. You should revisit the questionnaire as many times as are necessary before the end of the probationary period.
How to use the questionnaire:
1. Customise the questionnaire to suit your requirements. You can view the document as an RTF file and make the amendments directly in the document. Some ideas you may wish to consider for adapting the questionnaire are:
- Additional questions
- Rewording the questions to include terminology that is commonly used in your organisation
- Highlighting specific areas if you want to make them a focus of the questionnaire
- Increasing the space provided to answer each question if you would like more detailed responses
- Adding details of where to return completed questionnaires to
2. Arrange to meet with your new employee, using the questionnaire as a basis for discussing their progress so far.
3. Complete the questionnaire with your new employee, noting relevant issues in the Notes column and agreements/responsibilities in the Actions column.
4. Refer to the questionnaire as many times as necessary before the end of the probationary period to ensure that responsibilities are fulfilled.
