Peregovorka with Dana Tokmurzina. HR in business: why it matters
Why don't employees think like business owners? That is the frustration the new episode of Peregovorka begins with.
We discuss the HR challenges companies in Kazakhstan face, examine their underlying causes, and consider how to approach solutions — through diagnosing the current situation and introducing a systematic approach to HR that creates real value for the business.
What was discussed:
- Fixed pay and bonus — how to separate the two, and why the compensation formula matters more than the size of the salary.
- What KPIs actually are and how to build a system that works.
- The point at which a company needs an HR function, and what happens when that decision is postponed.
- Training: what employees gain from it and what the company gains. These are different things and worth keeping distinct.
- The realities of small and medium-sized business, where the HR function often rests on the owner alone.
- Performance assessment and talent pipelines — preparing people for key roles in advance.
- And a candid section on how many people have left Fortune Partners, and what that taught us about building a team.
