Employees of personnel services help new employees to familiarize themselves with only the formal aspects of work: rules, duties, rights, motivation, safety techniques. Psychological aspects of adaptation, such as emotional state, self-esteem, relationships with colleagues and the manager, are considered personal problems of the employee. Therefore, it is important to investigate the peculiarities of social and psychological adaptation of employees. Object of research: the process of adaptation of employees in the organization.
