AmCham Kazakhstan HR Committee Launch

We officially launched the AmCham Kazakhstan HR Committee with our kick-off meeting on April 6, hosted at the Philip Morris International Kazakhstan office

As a first step, members identified and prioritized key HR-related issues affecting companies in Kazakhstan:

💠Vacancy publication requirements on Enbek.kz
💠Higher education diplomas vs. professional certifications for employment
💠Tax treatment of in-kind benefits
💠Calendar days for vacation at the contract
💠Intra-corporate transfers (ICT)
💠Regulation of rotational work schedules under the Labour Code (20–21 day cycles)

The discussion confirmed strong interest in building a practical, business-driven HR agenda and working closely together on common issues in the coming quarter.

Thank you to our hosts for the warm welcome and great discussion environment.

If these topics resonate with your company’s priorities or current challenges, we invite you to join the HR Committee by emailing gr@amcham.kz
