HR Outsourcing

Employment in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Despite being a fast-growing African economy, the country has a long way to go to boost its economy and attract investment to develop key industries and create more employment opportunities, especially considering the fact that it has an increasingly younger population. Whilst employment agreements can be verbal or written, most established firms opt for a written contract that outlines an employee’s wage details, compensation, benefits, and termination conditions.

If your company is looking to attract and retain leading talent in the Republic of the Congo, whether local nationals or expatriates, Africa HR Solutions’ legally compliant and cost-effective employment outsourcing and payroll services will enable you to fast-track your growth and market-entry strategy, whilst ensuring that employee benefit packages are competitive and in line with market expectations.

By working with Africa HR Solutions as your HR outsourcing specialist, we make sure that you have time to focus on your Republic of the Congo expansion strategy.
