HR Consultancy
Who we serve
HR expertise built for the African context.
We work with government ministries, county governments, NGOs, development partners, and private sector organisations who need rigorous, practical HR consultancy grounded in Kenyan law and East African organisational realities.
Our HR Services
Nine services. Three practice areas.
Every engagement is scoped to your organisation's specific needs. We can deliver individual services or a fully integrated HR consultancy programme.
01
Workforce Analytics & Compensation
Data-driven insights into your workforce structure, compensation equity, and market positioning to inform strategic HR decisions.
Job Evaluation
Systematic assessment of job roles to establish internal equity and a consistent grading framework. We apply recognised methodologies to ensure every role is valued fairly relative to its contribution to the organisation.
Salary Surveys
Comprehensive market remuneration surveys that benchmark your pay scales against industry peers across Kenya and East Africa. Our surveys give you the data needed to attract, retain, and motivate top talent competitively.
Executive Recruitment & Payroll Management
End-to-end recruitment for senior and specialist roles, paired with rigorous payroll management services. We identify the right talent and ensure compliant, accurate, and timely payroll processing.
02
Organisational Health & Compliance
Audits, assessments, and compliance frameworks that keep your organisation legally sound, physically safe, and strategically aligned.
Human Resource Audit
A thorough review of your HR practices, policies, and systems against legal requirements and best practice standards. We deliver a detailed findings report with prioritised recommendations for improvement.
OSHA Audit
Occupational Safety and Health compliance audits conducted against the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Kenya). We identify workplace hazards, assess risk controls, and produce actionable corrective action plans.
Work Environment Surveys
Structured employee engagement and climate surveys that surface the real state of your workplace culture, morale, and management effectiveness. Results are benchmarked and presented with clear improvement priorities.
03
Capacity Building & Systems
Strengthening your HR function from the inside through training, policy frameworks, and the technology systems that make HR work at scale.
Training Needs Assessment
A structured analysis of skills gaps across your workforce, aligned to organisational strategy. We produce a prioritised training plan and can design or source appropriate development programmes.
HR Policy Manual Development & Review
Development of comprehensive HR policy manuals and employee handbooks tailored to your organisation, sector, and the Employment Act (Kenya). We also review and update existing policies to close gaps and reflect current law.
HRMIS Installation & Induction
Selection, installation, configuration, and staff induction for Human Resource Management Information Systems. We guide you from vendor evaluation through go-live, ensuring your team can use the system effectively from day one.
Why Insight AfriResearch
HR consultancy with depth and local context.
Kenyan legal grounding
Every recommendation we make is anchored in the Employment Act, Labour Relations Act, and OSHA Kenya. No generic frameworks — context-specific advice.
Cross-sector experience
We have worked with county governments, national ministries, international NGOs, hospitality groups, and private developers. We understand how HR challenges differ by sector.
Practical deliverables
Our reports are written for implementation, not filing. Every engagement ends with a clear action plan, ownership matrix, and timeline.
Multidisciplinary lens
Our HR team works alongside our research, engineering, and project management practices. This gives us a broader view of organisational challenges than a pure HR firm.
Confidential and independent
We operate with strict confidentiality. Our assessments are independent — we tell clients what they need to hear, not what is comfortable.
East Africa reach
Active project experience across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. We understand the regulatory and cultural nuances of operating across the region.
