I came across the term probation def in HR documents. Can someone explain probation def with simple examples and why companies use probation def for new employees?

In employment, probation is a defined timeframe at the start of a job during which the employer evaluates whether the new hire meets performance standards and fits the role — while the employee also decides if the job suits them. It commonly lasts 30 to 180 days, with outcomes including confirmation, extension, or termination.
 
A probation period is a trial phase at the beginning of a job, typically lasting 3 to 6 months, where an employer evaluates a new hire’s performance, skills, and cultural fit. It serves as a testing period for both parties to confirm compatibility before a long-term commitment.
