A Closer Look at Each HR & People Management Service Area
Recruitment & Selection
End-to-end recruitment management covers job profiling, advertising on Kenya’s leading job boards (BrighterMonday, MyJobMag, LinkedIn), CV screening, structured interviewing, and offer management. HR and people management services in Kenya for recruitment ensure compliance with the Employment Act’s non-discrimination provisions and streamline hiring timelines for high-volume or specialist roles.
Onboarding & Induction
Statutory onboarding in Kenya includes PIN certificate verification, NSSF and NHIF/SHIF registration, bank account confirmation for payroll, and issuance of the written employment contract within the 14-day requirement of the Employment Act 2007. Bestcare Manpower Services manages this process for outsourced clients, ensuring full statutory compliance from day one.
Performance Management
Structured performance management frameworks — including KPI setting aligned to organisational objectives, mid-year reviews, and annual appraisals — reduce subjectivity, improve accountability, and create the documentary record required for any formal performance management process under the Employment Act. HR and people management services in Kenya include the design and roll-out of these frameworks.
Learning & Development
NITA (National Industrial Training Authority) levy management and training plan alignment are key components of L&D administration in Kenya. Bestcare Manpower Services helps clients maximise NITA refund claims, design competency-linked training calendars, and procure accredited training providers across technical, leadership, and compliance training categories.
Employee Relations
Disciplinary and grievance processes must follow the procedural fairness requirements of the Employment Act 2007 and established case law from the Employment and Labour Relations Court. HR and people management services in Kenya for ER management provide clients with documented procedures, hearing facilitation, and outcome letters that withstand legal scrutiny.
Payroll Administration
Kenyan payroll compliance covers PAYE computation under KRA’s graduated tax bands, NSSF Tier I and Tier II contributions following the 2023 Act amendments, NHIF deductions transitioning to the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), and HELB loan deduction management. Bestcare Manpower Services delivers accurate monthly payroll processing with statutory remittance management.
HR Policy & Compliance
A comprehensive HR policy suite — covering attendance, leave entitlement (annual, sick, maternity, paternity, compassionate), workplace harassment, social media use, and IT acceptable use — protects the organisation legally and sets clear behavioural expectations. HR and people management services in Kenya include the development, communication, and maintenance of these policy documents.
Separation Management
Termination, resignation, redundancy, and retirement all carry specific procedural and payment obligations under Kenya’s employment laws. Redundancy in particular — requiring consultation, notice, and severance pay calculations under Section 40 of the Employment Act — is managed by Bestcare Manpower Services with full statutory compliance and documentation.
HR Reporting & Analytics
Monthly HR dashboards covering headcount, new hires, leavers, turnover rates, absenteeism, and training completion rates give management the people data they need to make informed decisions. HR and people management services in Kenya include the design of HR reporting templates aligned to each client’s organisational structure.
Employee Wellness
Employee wellness programmes in Kenya increasingly extend beyond medical cover to include Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), mental health awareness training, and structured wellness audits. Bestcare Manpower Services helps organisations design and implement wellness initiatives that improve productivity and reduce absenteeism across all employment levels.
