Adaptation of new personnel (key methods, steps and activities)
A well-organized adaptation procedure is designed to help not only a new employee of the company, but also the company itself.

The issue of a well-designed adaptation program is especially acute in large companies, where the number of new employees is usually quite large. In fact, McKinsey receives about 225,000 employment applications every year and approximately 2000 people (1% of all the applicants) are hired (McDonald, 2013).

Thanks to a well-constructed adaptation program, a newcomer can not only get an idea of the specifics of the company's work, but also get the experience necessary for further career development. There are three main steps of adaptation in McKinsey. All new recruits of McKinsey without an MBA must complete a three-week course (mini-MBA program) to receive business skills and knowledge of accounting, marketing, finance and leadership which are not taught in MD or PhD programs (Schmitt, 2015).
