Kametstal introduces an adaptation system for new employees

Kametstal, a member of Metinvest Group, is introducing an adaptation system for new employees. The program helps newcomers integrate into the workflow faster, master the necessary skills and become effective team members, according to a press release from the company.

In wartime, the company, like many others, is facing a staff shortage. Due to the reduction in the ability to recruit qualified specialists, the company has implemented a corporate adaptation project that allows it to train new employees directly at the workplace.

The key role in the adaptation process is played by an “adapter” – a direct supervisor or an experienced colleague who helps the newcomer integrate into the work environment, familiarizes them with the company’s rules and corporate culture. This approach not only speeds up learning but also increases employee motivation.

In the newcomer-adapter tandem, each has a role to play: the new employee gets used to the working conditions and the team, while the mentor helps him or her master the specifics of production and passes on practical experience. In addition, the adaptor provides feedback that contributes to the newcomer’s professional development.

Thanks to the adaptation system, employees acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, and the company gets motivated and trained specialists. This is an important step in the development of Kametstal’s HR policy and strengthening of its production capacity.

As GMK Center reported earlier, Kametstal continues to systematically develop new repair products that help reduce the cost of equipment restoration. Specialists of the metallurgical equipment repair shop have already started implementing the program for 2025, successfully fulfilling orders from the plant’s metallurgical divisions
