# Probation review survey

Clarify readiness before a probation conversation.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. Which responsibility still needs explanation?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. Where do you need more practice?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What support would help next month?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: new starters describe unclear approval limits.
2. Additional practice needs distinguish familiarity with routine work from confidence handling specific situations. Agree appropriate supported opportunities, without treating self-assessed readiness as a performance verdict or proof of demonstrated competence.
3. Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: document approval examples with the manager.

Interpretation caution: Do not equate confidence with demonstrated competence.
