A new strategic document has been adopted at KAMAZ that sets the priorities of the company’s social policy for the years ahead – the “Corporate Demographic Standard.” In 2027 alone, the company will invest at least two billion rubles in supporting employees and their families. When introducing the new strategic document, the company aligned its actions with the Corporate Demographic Standard of the Russian Federation and the social policy of the State Corporation “Rostec.”
The automotive giant has developed and launched an ecosystem to support employees with children, moving from targeted social measures to creating a comprehensive family-oriented environment. The entire new ecosystem is aimed at supporting traditional values, assisting employees in balancing work and child-rearing, providing social support, and promoting a healthy lifestyle. The outcomes will be an increase in the proportion of employees who are officially married and a rise in the number of children in their families.
“Business must become a partner of the state in addressing demographic issues. Enterprises, understanding the state’s task, are motivated to contribute to increasing birth rates and strengthening the institution of the family. And “KAMAZ,” responding to this demand, has enhanced social support for its employees“, – commented z Deputy General Director of PJSC KAMAZ for Personnel Management, Organizational Development, and Corporate Governance Zhanna Khaliullina.
With the support of the Board of Directors, the company is prepared for additional expenses. It is expected that in 2027 alone, expenditures on new social support measures will increase to 540 million rubles, including at least 150 million rubles allocated solely for the new payments. KAMAZ fully acknowledges the complexity of the demographic situation in Russia and Tatarstan. Without its correction, it is impossible to solve the staffing issue in an individual company. Therefore, the new strategy, alongside other programs implemented in the company, is aimed at further improving the situation.
“In close cooperation with the KAMAZ trade union committee, we conducted a reengineering of the Collective Agreement, turning it into a legal basis for comprehensive support of KAMAZ families., – told Zhanna Khaliullina. – P A section “Demography and Family Welfare” has appeared, combining all existing and new support mechanisms. It covers the entire life cycle of an employee in the company: from acquiring a profession and starting a family to care during well-deserved retirement.
The corporate demographic standard consists of five blocks. The “Support” block provides social and legal guarantees and the creation of a family-oriented environment. Employees, especially those with many children, will receive real assistance with household matters so that a person can combine work and family care. The “Unity” block defines the company’s task to form a corporate social environment, participate in strengthening family traditions, and conduct social-demographic patronage. The “Privileges” block consists of loyalty programs, additional payments, benefits, and an extended social package for families with children. Starting in 2027, payments will be introduced for the birth of children in Kamaz employees’ families. For example, for the fourth and subsequent children, the company will pay the employee 500,000 rubles. The “Participation” block is dedicated to the development of charitable and volunteer projects by employees aimed at strengthening traditional family values. The “Future” block concerns the development of the potential of the younger generation and its health, supporting the creation of urban infrastructure: playgrounds, sports clubs, and hobby groups. Kamaz employees will soon be able to review the document on the company’s official website.
“KAMAZ” creates natural conditions for communication, friendship, and the formation of new family unions among employees of all ages. Events—forums, contests, concerts, dating evenings, hiking trips, KVN (a comedy club), movie nights—not only unite the team but also help people get to know each other and go from liking to a strong union. In honor of a wedding, there is an opportunity to receive financial assistance and leave work for five days with salary preservation. In 2025 alone, about 500 employees took advantage of this measure.
The support measures program is in place for pregnant employees, for moms and dads upon the birth of a child, and covers hundreds of families annually. Parents have the opportunity to switch to a flexible work schedule, adjust the start of their day flexibly, work from home if the child is sick. These and other mechanisms allow for balancing work and family. Starting in 2026, parents of first graders will be provided with a flexible schedule during the first month of school. Support measures also cover housing issues. Employees can participate in the republican social mortgage program, obtain an apartment in a rental building, or receive partial compensation of mortgage loan interest. “We aim to create an environment where having and raising children does not conflict with work. The philosophy is simple: a healthy child means a calm parent. Therefore, we include free sanatorium vouchers as part of the support during proprogram “Mother and Child”, vouchers to children’s camps and other benefits, – emphasized Zhanna Khaliullina.
