Social Sciences - Human Resources / Trial period
French term or phrase: prise de fonction
CONTEXT:

"Le directeur des ressources humaines doit accompagner les directeurs du centre lors de leur prise de fonction sur ce sujet".

The "sujet" is the decision on whether to keep the trainee or not. Does "prise de fonction" refer to making the decision, or does it refer to something completely different? TIA.

Il y a pas mal de traductions possibles, dépendant du niveau de formalisme qu'on veut apporter: to formally assume one's duties, taking office, to assume the post...
