A new initiative that offers cutting-edge technology for payroll and HR needs is set to benefit Kenyan tech businesses.
The programme is spearheaded by a leading African company that broke the record for processing the highest payroll value in the region in 2023.
SeamlessHR, the company behind the initiative, has processed over Sh44 billion worth of payroll for various businesses across Africa.
