The main purpose of the study is to assess the development and implementation of GHRM policies and identify prospects for the dissemination of GHRM practices in Ukraine. The results of the survey confirmed the working hypotheses: the practice of developing GHRM policies in Ukraine has not become widespread and there are no effective mechanisms for implementing GHRM policies. The research showed the average level of respondents’ assessment of their awareness of GHRM practices. The study confirmed a lack of effective mechanisms and tools for their implementation: units and employees responsible for implementing the GHRM policy; regulation of tasks, duties and responsibilities of employees; practices of planning the number of employees required for the implementation of environmental initiatives and activities; development of green competencies; informing employees about the GHRM policies implementation; involvement of employees in the formation of green policies and solving ecological problems; survey of employees’ opinion on corporate green practices. The paper focuses on the necessity of disseminating the practices of developing and implementing GHRM policies, it is crucial to raise the awareness of managers and HR specialists.

The research results confirmed the important role of green recruitment and adaptation in green human resource management (GHRM). The survey’s purpose was to evaluate the spread of green recruitment and staff adaptation practices in Ukraine. The theoretical model of green practices implementation in the processes of recruitment and staff adaptation is developed. The survey found that less than a third of organizations position themselves as green employers and develop green employer value propositions (EVPs) which are attractive to people with green behaviours. The practice of assessing and selecting candidates with green competencies has not become widespread. The lack of practice of including green competencies in the requirements and job advertisements does not allow the company to attract desirable candidates, including specialists with environmental knowledge and attitudes, despite such intentions. The study results also showed that more organizations use green practices during the onboarding and adaptation of new employees compared to recruitment and selection. The survey results confirmed the hypothesis that green recruitment and adaptation aren’t widespread in Ukrainian companies. Owners and managers need to pay more attention to introducing green issues in the recruitment and adaptation processes; study successful practices and adapt them to the specifics of the organization; develop green competencies in HR managers and specialists; to position themselves as a green employer.
