Kenya - HR Outsourcing

Kenya is one of the most thriving countries in Africa, and on the path to transformation and diversification. Significant reforms and political stability have boosted growth in the country. As Kenya develops further, it continues to create employment outsourcing opportunities to attract talent to help to develop various sectors of the economy.

While organisations decide to move to other countries, they are faced with several scenarios related to the local, cultural, laws, and labour policies of the country. Africa HR Solutions is the partner who can develop an HR outsourcing plan to help you move to Kenya with peace of mind, even if your organisation does not hold a legal entity yet. Our experts set up a comprehensive Kenya HR outsourcing plan that includes Professional Employer Organisation (PEO), Employer of Record, payroll solutions as well as other ancillary support services, all tailored to your business objectives.

Kenya's Economy

Kenya is known to be the most diversified economy and the largest country among the East African Community (EAC). The country is primarily driven by the private sector, and it is the second-highest-ranking economy in sub-Saharan Africa, just after Rwanda. Hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, there was strong growth in the agricultural sector but certain industries such as tourism and education were affected. With several measures in place, Kenya is committed to fiscal stability, finding the appropriate balance between the country’s stability, and boosting growth. The country is known for an increasingly younger population, a dynamic private sector, talent, enhanced infrastructure and has thus the potential to be one of Africa’s success stories.
