Since 2013 Blume Africa has been providing Professional HR Services to small businesses across Kenya. We started small ourselves, just a few people in a room. So, although we’ve grown over the years, our values remain the same. For a small business to ensure compliance and manage employees professionally, it can seem like an impossible task without the right help. But the cost of having an HR professional on staff is too high for most small businesses. That’s where Blume Africa comes in. With us on your side it’s like having your own HR team at a fraction of the cost. All of which means more peace of mind for you, and more time for you to concentrate on what you do best: growing your business.
