Botswana's Economy

For the past 53 years, Botswana’s socio-economic performance has enabled it to be classified as a middle-income country by the World Bank. The government has implemented policies that allow the private sector to play a fundamental role in boosting the economy, encourage free trade and attract foreign direct investment, which has in turn significantly helped in developing the mining sector – a major source of revenue for Botswana. Other sectors such as tourism, retail, and emerging manufacturing have also performed well, with a contribution of the private sector and FDI. The banking sphere and capital markets are relatively stable and effective, with defined rules and procedures that govern the sector.

Employment in Botswana

Having maintained reasonably high economic growth rates since 1966, Botswana is considered as one of the world’s largest producer of diamonds. With a politically stable environment, Botswana is ranked 87th out of 190 countries in the World’s Bank Ease of Doing Business report. With established reforms and policies, Botswana has maintained a relatively steady and effective market structure that enables competition, while the private sector continues to play a fundamental role in the economy.

Employees are permitted sick, vacation and parental leave. With regards to termination, both the employee and employer can end an employment agreement, whereby a minimum notice, equal to the period for which salaries are paid, must be offered or payment shall be made in lieu of such notice. However, if the employee was involved in any major misconduct, no notice is required. With regards to taxation, there are no social security contributions in the country.

When recruiting locals or hiring expats in Botswana, devising an appropriate employee benefit system can be expensive and complex due to prevailing legislation, robust employee protections and market norms. By partnering with Africa HR Solutions, our in-country experts will provide you all the attention and support you need to procure competitive employee benefits in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and customary practices, so you can focus on growing your organisation.
