A Closer Look at Each HR Consulting Service
HR Strategy Development
HR consulting in Kenya for strategy development begins with a thorough understanding of the business strategy — growth plans, geographic expansion, technology investment, and capital structure — and translates this into a people strategy that addresses talent acquisition, development, retention, and the HR operating model required to deliver it. The output is a practical, budgeted 3-year HR roadmap.
Organisational Restructuring
Restructuring mandates require careful navigation of Section 40 of the Employment Act 2007 — covering the genuine redundancy test, notification to the Cabinet Secretary, consultation with unions or staff representatives, and the calculation of severance pay at 15 days’ pay per year of service. Bestcare Manpower Services designs and manages restructuring processes that are legally defensible and humanely executed.
HR Function Review
Many HR functions in Kenyan organisations have grown organically without ever being deliberately designed. HR consulting in Kenya for HR function reviews assesses the current state against best practice, identifies structural and capability gaps, and proposes a transformation roadmap — covering organisation design, role profiles, technology requirements, and capability development priorities for the HR team itself.
Talent Management Framework
A comprehensive talent management framework integrates performance management, succession planning, high-potential identification, career pathing, and leadership development into a coherent system. Bestcare Manpower Services designs frameworks that are proportionate to the organisation’s size and sophistication, and trains HR and line management teams on their effective use.
Culture Assessment & Change
Culture change is one of the most complex challenges in organisational life — particularly in Kenya’s diverse, multi-ethnic, multi-generational workforce. HR consulting in Kenya for culture work begins with a structured diagnostic (surveys, focus groups, leadership interviews) to understand the current culture, then designs interventions that shift behaviours and norms in a deliberate, sustained way.
Employee Engagement
Employee engagement surveys — designed, administered, and analysed by Bestcare Manpower Services — give leadership an evidence-based view of what is driving and undermining workforce motivation across different business units, locations, and employee segments. Action planning workshops translate survey findings into specific management commitments with measurable outcomes.
HR Technology Advisory
Selecting the wrong HRIS is an expensive and disruptive mistake. HR consulting in Kenya for HR technology advisory supports organisations through requirements gathering, vendor market mapping, product demonstrations, reference checking, and contract negotiation — ensuring the selected system genuinely fits the organisation’s scale, processes, and budget.
Mergers & Acquisitions HR
M&A transactions in Kenya raise complex HR questions — which employees transfer under Section 36 of the Employment Act, how to harmonise differing terms and conditions, what the redundancy exposure is, and how to manage the cultural integration of two different organisations. Bestcare Manpower Services provides people due diligence and post-merger integration HR consulting.
Industrial Relations Advisory
Managing the relationship with recognised trade unions in Kenya — whether in manufacturing, banking, healthcare, or education — requires a deep understanding of the Labour Relations Act 2007, CBA negotiation dynamics, and the personality of specific union officials. HR consulting in Kenya for industrial relations provides employers with strategic advice, negotiation preparation, and representation support.
HR Metrics & Analytics
Data-driven HR decision-making requires a well-designed metrics framework. Bestcare Manpower Services designs HR KPI libraries, builds management dashboards, and trains HR teams to interpret people data — connecting workforce metrics (turnover, time-to-fill, absenteeism, engagement scores) to business performance outcomes.
