Findings

Researchers explored the complex relationship between job quality, workplace well-being, and human resource practices within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kazakhstan. The results revealed that women managers in Kazakhstani SMEs experience widespread barriers to training, development, and career growth. In addition, they face unequal treatment based on gender and age, workplace bullying and harassment, unmediated personal conflicts, a systematic exclusion from decision-making, and rigid company norms regarding flexible working hours.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
