Creating equal opportunities
We support an inclusive and respectful work environment that promotes equal opportunities for all our employees.
At the end of 2024, the Fund Group employs 263,942 people (average headcount as of 31 December of the Reporting period), of whom 97% are on the payroll. There have been no significant changes in the number of employees in the Fund over the last four years. The largest number of employees is in the transport and logistics sector (51%) and the oil and gas sector (24%).
The specific nature of our portfolio companies’ production activities leads to a traditional predominance of men: in 2024, the share of men in the personnel structure is 74%, while the share of women is 26%.
The Fund does not discriminate because of gender in salary increases, and the increase in an employee’s remuneration depends on the salary range of the respective position.
A proactive reporting policy is in place and corrective action is taken when incidents of discrimination occur.
We implement measures to support women at different stages of their professional journey – including matters related to maternity, work-life balance.
In 2024, 6,633 women and 544 men took maternity/paternity leaves. The number of employees who continued to work for the Fund at the end of maternity/paternity leave was 3,521.
All employees of the Fund Group were entitled to maternity or parental leave in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The Fund actively implements the policy of inclusiveness aimed at creating equal opportunities for people with disabilities. Today we employ more than 3,007 people with disabilities, of whom the largest number is in Mangistau region (433 people). There is a special section on QSamruk.kz, the Fund’s job platform, where vacancies for people with special needs (people with disabilities) are posted.
