TCO was recognized as the most attractive employer in Kazakhstan by the end of 2024. The company has received this award for the fourth year in a row. The rating was performed by an independent company as part of a large-scale study of perception of the employer’s brand “The Talentist. Employer brand perception” as per the order of ANCOR.

“This award is a result of our constant efforts to ensure that each employee can grow, develop and realize their potential, — noted Kamshat Baizhanova, TCO Human Resources General Manager. — We believe that real value of a company is its people, and we continue to invest in their professional and personal growth”.

“The Employer of the Year” is awarded based on an independent survey of thousands of applicants and current employees of companies across the country. Participants evaluate organizations based on criteria such as stability, career opportunities, working conditions, salary levels, corporate reputation, and work-life balance. TCO ranked first with an employer attractiveness index of 69.28%.

“This is recognition from the jobseekers — the result of systematic work, a high level of culture and trust in the brand of employers», - noted Valeria Petrunina, General Director of ANCOR Central Asia.

From the very beginning of its activity, TCO strives to maximize the involvement of Kazakhstani specialists in operation and management processes. This approach has led to impressive results: as results of the first quarter, Kazakhstani citizens make up 95.5% of the total TCO workforce. In 1993, this figure was only 50%.

TCO encourages initiative, pursuit of knowledge and responsibility. The company encourages employees to personal fulfillment through the development of leadership skills, participation in cross-functional projects and international experience exchange programs.
