Your settling-in period
Find out more about settling-in 121s and settling-in goals.
-
You will have weekly settling-in 121s during months 1-2 and monthly settling-in 121s during months 3-6. Your first settling-in 121 will be scheduled for day 4 and will focus on agreeing your settling-in goals. Your final settling-in 121 will happen at the end of your sixth month with us and will confirm whether or not you’ve passed your settling-in period. With your manager’s support and guidance, most of our new Primemates pass, but if you don’t, we'll either:
- Extend your settling-in period, or
- Fail your settling-in period and end your employment with Prime.
We operate a ‘no surprises’ rule at Prime. So, if things aren’t going well, we’ll Say it straight, so that you have the time and support to improve. We'll provide you with a settling-in Google form to support you to prepare for each meeting and capture any feedback from your manager, so that you know exactly how you're doing.

Your settling-in goals are used to support you to perform fully in your role, settle into your team and Prime life and to assess your performance in these areas. Your manager will work with you to make sure that your goals are carefully selected so that, by achieving them, you demonstrate that you:
- Fully understand the requirements of your role
Are contributing in your role and to your team - Have started to build good relationships with your key stakeholders (internally and externally)
- Understand and are playing out our purpose, values and vision day-to-day
- Have asked for, and completed, all training necessary for you to deliver your role.
If, at any point during your settling-in period, you’re struggling to complete your settling-in goals, or with any aspect of your role, please tell your manager without delay. They’ll then work with you to make a plan to support you. This may include extending your settling-in period.
