Introducing automated probation period reminders for managers
On Friday, 1 March, 2024, we introduced automated notifications that to help managers across the organisation with the probation process.
This introduction is the product of collaboration between the P&OD Systems team and ITS Applications support team, who work together to implement improvements in processes across P&OD for our colleagues across the University.
How will this help our managers:
- The system automatically tracks an employee’s start date and probation terms. You do not need to set reminders; when an employee reaches the date five weeks away from their probation period review date; you will receive an automated email from P&OD letting you know that a review is coming due;
- The email will feature click-through prompts to guide you through scheduling reviews and a link to the Probation Policy;
- A second automated email will be sent two weeks prior to the end of the employee probation period end date as a final reminder providing the same information as the first email. This email will be generated and sent even if you have conducted the probation review, please ignore it if you have taken the appropriate action.
