for these purposes. Seminars and training for the development
of management skills have also been run for senior
management, together with training in current management
methods.
In order to update trade union leaders on the latest changes
to labour legislation a special training seminar was arranged
last April, part of which was dedicated to the development of
communication skills.
As part of the effort to improve internal communications at an
enterprise level, team building training was also carried out in
the course of the year for managers, shop and shift foremen,
store and work units managers in the fields.
Personnel of the production units OMG and EMG received
extensive briefings about their transformation into joint stock
companies. Each employee had the opportunity to put
questions to the top management of KMG EP during face-toface
meetings and to receive detailed responses. They were
assured that the same working and pay conditions and social
contributions would retain, as guaranteed in the conditions of
the collective agreement. These conditions were approved by
the work collectives and trade unions.
In 2012 for the first time a professional mastery competition
was held for the title “Uzdik Maman” among workers of affiliate
companies. Winners receive a bonus to their basic annual
salary. KMG EP plans to make these competitions part of a
good Company tradition.
Special attention during the course of the year was paid to
developing coherence in the working collectives. Thus in Astana
the 1st spartakiade (multi-disciplinary athletics competition)
was held in 11 sport disciplines amongst workers of the KMG
EP group of companies. There was also a gala concert, where
talented creative workers of KMG EP took part. A competition of
children’s drawings belonging to employees of OMG and EMG
was held. The theme was “My dream. Me and my family”, with
the aim of supporting children’s creativity. Similar events will be
held in the future to support the team spirit of our workers.
