Alexandra Min, HR Director at the MyOffice software developer, is confident that the fastest adaptation is for those who understand their tasks and expected results. "The higher the level of a specialist, the more consciously they approach their work - which means they clarify more, ask questions more often and strive to get to grips with the work as quickly as possible, socialize and show cool results. In our company, during the adaptation period, a manager and mentor come to the aid of newcomers. They are the ones who suggest how to find a common language with colleagues, how and where to find the necessary information for work, plan sprints together, highlight product features, etc. We help with adaptation not only new employees, but also their managers and mentors. It is important to clarify their roles, help and train them to work with a newcomer and tell them how to help with adaptation faster," she shares.

says that the slower japan cell phone number list adaptation of IT specialists is due to the fact that the IT sphere offers many more opportunities for choice, more benefits, more product options for development, and in conditions of fierce competition, it is always more difficult to adapt. "Programmers, by virtue of their profession, are inclined to critical thinking - they compare more, take longer to get used to communications, and it takes them longer to join the team. In addition, the ability to work remotely significantly affects the speed of adaptation - when an employee sees colleagues only via zoom and skype, his assimilation into the company is much slower than if he regularly has the opportunity to even just drink coffee in the informal atmosphere of the office cafeteria," she is sure.

Head of the Adaptation Department at Innostage, Aigul Valeeva, notes that slow adaptation is typical for fast-growing companies, and also occurs in companies with many business areas and technologies. "For example, if you have no more than 200 people working for you, it is comparatively easier to adapt specialists. Companies with a large and distributed organizational structure and a large set of business processes and decision-makers have a much more difficult time in this regard. In general, slow adaptation is not a sign of a shortcoming on the part of the employer or the incompetence of a specialist. The work can be really complex, which is almost impossible to immerse yourself in in just a week," she believes.

Leading HR specialist at Linxdatacenter Yulia Lukecha says that IT specialists can adapt to a new work environment a little longer than other employees, and the situation has not changed in recent years. "A comfortable environment for programmers or IT engineers is programs, code, and hardware. In addition, the work of IT specialists requires a high degree of concentration and focus. Communication is built within the work team and may not go beyond it. This lengthens the adaptation process within the company. In recent years, many companies have switched to a remote or hybrid work format, and the IT industry was at the forefront of this transformation. This can affect the speed and quality of employee adaptation in a new company. Changing employers, but remaining in the familiar atmosphere of a home office, an employee practically does not leave the "comfort zone" at the stage of entering a new environment, but at the same time gets to know the corporate culture, business processes, and new colleagues more slowly," she says.
