Employee Probation Completion email template

Why does it matter?

Most new employees go through a steep learning curve before settling into their new role. This means their probation period is mostly tough on them. Sending an email to congratulate them after passing their probation thus makes them feel valued, that their hard work has paid off.

When to send?

Send this email ideally on the first day that the employee has successfully completed their probation. By being timely, you will show the employee that the company cares about their progress, as opposed to sending the email weeks after the probation completion.

What to include?

• A message congratulating the employee on passing their probation period 
• Establishment of trust for new responsibilities moving forward
• Employee benefits that the employee is now eligible to receive

Please keep in mind that this is a template. You may change it to suit your company's voice and tone.
