It is a month later and you meet with the Principal Consultant to discuss the performance of the new
Accounts Officer, Maggie’s, as she is on a 3-month probation.
The Principal Consultant indicates that while he is happy with Maggie’s performance overall, she
doesn’t seem to be as productive and motivated as he would like. He explains that she sometimes
seems to be waiting for direction instead of getting on with things. He would like you to meet with her to
discuss this.
Email:
Dear Paul,
Please find the attached copy of the updated induction checklist and approve it. It will be great if you could give me
some time to discuss about the performance of Maggie.
I have observed that in her 3 months of probation, she is lacking the initiative skills, which she demonstrated during
the selection process. I would like to discuss in detail regarding this with you.
Regards,
Snigdha Gurala
6. Develop a script for providing feedback to a probationary employee and to seek feedback
on the induction process
Develop a suitable script for your roleplay meeting with Maggie (your assessor), including the
purpose of the meeting, probationary terms and feedback to be provided.
You will be using the meeting as an opportunity to gain feedback on the induction process so
as to determine whether the process is meeting the required objective of ensuring all
employees understand their job role and responsibilities.
Ensure that your script allows for Maggie to provide
feedback. Save this document as Probationary Employee
Script.
Your assessor will advise you of the date and time of the meeting
Inviting the employee for a discussion and greeting her and start the conversation. Explaining her that this is a
feedback for her 3 months probation period performance. Mention her that she is good at interacting with clients
and performing her tasks.
The Principal Consultant has mentioned that he is happy with your performance, but he is concerned with your
productivity. It means he is expecting you to take initiative and motivate others to perform the tasks well for the
success of the business. Ask for any issues in this role that she would like to discuss.
Note any issues or difficulties that she might have been facing and follow-up with them.
Email:
Dear Paul,
Please find the attached copy of probationary employment script and kindly let me know of any changes to be
made.
Regards,
Snigdha Gurala.
During the meeting, you are required to demonstrate effective communication skills including:
Speaking clearly and concisely
Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
Asking questions to identify required information
Responding to questions as required
Using active listening techniques to confirm understanding
You will need to demonstrate appropriate non-verbal communication skills to show that you
are open to Maggie’s views, as well as being empathetic.
After considering the outcomes from the meeting, it is evident that one of the major improvements to be made for
induction process is to increase the period of induction from one week to two.
Some of the recommendations that can help in improving our induction process will include:
The period of induction should be increased for more than one week.
There should be a periodic review on the performance of new staff by the supervisors during the
probationary period.
This periodic review should include the following:
Give a constructive feedback on the employee’s performance and explain the company’s expectations on
them.
Clear their doubts and assist them in successful completion of the tasks.
Discuss any concerns
Also it is suggested that WHS induction need to be carried out in the very first week of the start of
employment.
It is very important to assign a mentor to every employee and train him or her for perfection during the
probationary period.
Given Maggie’s feedback on the induction process, assume that you have also decided to
review the induction process and seek feedback from managers on the extent to which the
induction process is meeting its objectives. So, the objective of the email is to obtain
feedback from managers on the induction process.
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate
(polite, business-like) style.
Email:
Dear Paul,
Further to my meeting with Maggie in regards to discuss about her performance, I have noted the following
concerns. Maggie has indicated that she is lacking proper guidance and mentoring from the supervisors.
It could be as a result of short induction period. I would strongly recommend assigning a mentor to fully train a new
employee during the probation period. After a careful research, I have few recommendations made for training a
new employee, which are included in the attachment.
Kindly take time to review the recommendations for improving the induction process and approve.
Regards,
Snigdha Gurala.
10. Develop recommendations for improving the induction process. Assume that you have
received feedback from staff as documented in Induction Processes Feedback. Use the
outcomes of the meeting with Maggie, as well as the Induction Process Feedback to
develop recommendations for improving the induction process. In addition, conduct
research on best practice induction processes. Your report should also recommend
changes to the induction section of the Recruitment, Selection and Induction policy and
procedure you developed in Assessment Task 2 based on the feedback and research on
best practice induction processes.
Save this document as Induction Process Improvements Report.
