World Experience in the Onboarding Processes: From Theory to Practical Implementation in Ukraine

Abstract

The aim of the article is to determine the importance of taking into account the experience of adaptation of personnel from other countries for Ukrainian companies in order to successfully function both in the international market and in Ukraine. The study identified common features of onboarding programs in different countries of the world, such as an emphasis on corporate culture, diversity, professional development, work-life balance, teamwork and communication. The unique features of the processes of personnel adaptation, characteristic of individual countries and due to cultural, historical, religious, legal and social factors, are identified. The importance of taking into account the experience of adaptation of personnel from other countries for Ukrainian companies is substantiated in view of active integration into the international environment, attraction of foreign specialists and expansion of international cooperation. The characteristic features of the process of adaptation of personnel in Ukraine, arising from the cultural, historical and social realities of the country, are determined. Aspects of personnel adaptation based on the experience of other countries, which can be implemented in Ukraine, are proposed. An indicative roadmap for the implementation of these features of personnel adaptation in Ukraine has been developed, taking into account the national context. Thus, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of the processes of personnel adaptation in the international context, identifies areas of improvement for Ukrainian companies and outlines the prospects for further scientific work in this area. Regarding the further scientific research, it is proposed to focus on an in-depth study of cultural, historical and social factors that affect the processes of personnel adaptation in Ukraine and other countries of the world; analyses of the efficiency of various methods and practices of personnel adaptation in specific organizations and industries; examining the impact of onboarding programs on staff retention, job satisfaction, and productivity; development of recommendations for adaptation and implementation of the world’s best practices of personnel adaptation in Ukrainian realities; studying the role of technology and innovative approaches in the process of personnel adaptation in the era of digital transformations.
