UPDATING THE CONCEPT OF MENTORING IN THE SYSTEM OF ADAPTATION OF YOUNG SPECIALISTS IN NATURAL MONOPOLIES OF THE ELECTRIC POWER COMPLEX OF RUSSIA

Abstract

Natural monopolies of the Russian electric power complex are characterized by a number of features of their functioning and management: high accident rate associated with the human factor; high requirements for industrial safety and personnel qualifications; legislative regulation of the remuneration system, the number of employees and methods of personnel management; aging of personnel due to the outflow of young personnel to more attractive companies from the point of view of the modern generation; limited budgetary funds and the wage fund; and others. The purpose of the article is to update the existing concept of mentoring and improve the current system of adaptation of young specialists in the natural monopolies of the Russian electric power complex, taking into account generational characteristics, digitalization opportunities and industry specifics. Given the fact that at no point in time will the team consist of one generation in its purest form, it becomes relevant to use a set of interaction tools. At the moment, generation Z is just starting its career path and the bulk of employees are generations X and Y. This is a great opportunity to pay due attention to the training of senior employees and teach them competent mentoring at a high level using modern technologies. The authors propose an organizational and economic mechanism for the preparation of adaptation and training programs for generation Z employees while preserving the accumulated experience of generation X, Y employees and obtaining a synergistic effect from the unification of generations.
