HR Consultancy Firm in Kenya
Expert HR consultants for defined projects and difficult people decisions, from setting up HR from scratch to restructuring, grading and resolving disputes.
Lynn HR is an HR consultancy firm in Kenya that helps employers solve specific people problems and build HR systems that last. Our HR consultants work from The Mirage in Westlands, Nairobi, and advise businesses, NGOs and institutions across the country.
Unlike HR outsourcing, where we run your HR every month, HR consultancy is project-based or advisory. You bring us a challenge, we agree the deliverables and timeline, and we work alongside your team until it is done and handed over.
Common HR consultancy projects
Our human resource consultancy work covers the moments when a business needs expert HR input for a defined period. Each project starts with a scoping session and a written proposal so you know exactly what you will receive.
We also offer HR advisory on call, for managers who handle people matters themselves but want a professional check before acting.

- Organisational structure and restructuring
- Job evaluation, grading and salary structures
- HR policies, procedures and handbooks
- HR audits and compliance reviews

How our HR consultants work
Scoping session
We listen to the problem, review the relevant documents and agree what a good outcome looks like.
Written proposal
You receive a proposal with deliverables, timeline, the consultants involved and a fixed fee.
Diagnosis
We gather information through document reviews, interviews and workshops with your managers and staff.
Solution and implementation
We develop the policies, structures or plans and support your team as they are introduced.
Handover
We train your team, hand over all documents and templates, and remain available for follow-up advice.
Why use an HR consultancy firm?
Some HR decisions carry significant legal and financial risk. A redundancy that does not follow the procedure in section 40 of the Employment Act, a termination without a fair hearing, or a salary structure that treats similar roles differently can all lead to costly claims. Experienced HR consultants help you get these decisions right the first time.
An HR consultancy firm also brings perspective. We see how other Kenyan employers solve the same problems, what works in practice and what the courts and labour officers expect, and we bring that experience to your business.
HR consultancy and HR advisory
For larger pieces of work we run a project with fixed deliverables. For day-to-day questions, our HR advisory service gives you direct access to an HR consultant who can review a situation, draft the letters and guide you through the next steps.
Many clients start with a single project, such as a policy manual or an HR audit, and then keep us on for advisory support as new issues come up.
Choosing an HR consultancy firm in Kenya
When comparing HR consultancy firms in Kenya, look beyond the list of services. Ask who will actually do the work, whether they have handled similar projects, how they will involve your managers and staff, and what you will own at the end of the project.
Lynn HR keeps projects practical. Every deliverable is written for how your business actually works, and we train your team to use it, so the policies, structures and systems we build are used long after our HR consultants have left.
- Named consultants on every project
- Fixed deliverables and timelines
- Practical documents your team will use
- Training and handover included
Right for you if: You have a defined HR project or a sensitive people decision and want expert help for a set period.
