I am just looking for some in put. My volunteer dept. does not like the term Probationary member. Does anyone see a problem with it

They say that proby sounds like they did something wrong

I don't have much of a suggestion on terminology, but I would like to applaud your department for being a forward thinking agency. We tend to eat our young in EMS and volunteer agencies, especially, have great staffing problems because we don't seem to be able to manage effectively. By that, I mean we do a great job, in the act of providing the service we provide, but we don't do well in managing the people we work with or fostering an educational and encouraging environment to help sharpen our "probationary employees." I'm happy to hear that your agency is at least trying to do something proactive to try to change to be more welcoming.
