Why do some UAE companies continue employee evaluations even after the 6-month probation period?

While the UAE Labour Law caps probation at six months, many firms—particularly in the private sector—use internal processes to continue assessing employees beyond that timeframe. Experts say this is especially common for strategic roles where early performance is hard to gauge, such as innovation, product development, or leadership-track positions. These extended reviews include coaching, check-ins, and post-probation evaluations without violating the law. Do you think these extended evaluations are fair and effective for long-term success?
