Africa's workforce operating system
We started where the need was clearest. Millions of South African households employ domestic workers — too often without a contract, without UIF, and without the records that protect both sides. KhayaHR exists to change that, for the household and the worker alike.
That problem is not only a household one. Khaya Connect now covers eleven industries, so a worker can say what work she actually does and be found for it — whether that is in a home, a kitchen, on a site, or behind a reception desk.
Our mission
We want it to be genuinely easy for South African employers to do right by the people who work in their homes — not because they have to, but because it's better for everyone when they do.
A worker with a proper contract knows their rights. An employer who runs payroll correctly builds trust. A household that covers UIF gives their worker a real safety net. Small acts of formality add up to real change.
Technology should close the gap between good intentions and action. Most employers want to do the right thing — they just don't know how. KhayaHR removes the excuses.
Cost to the worker — KhayaHR is always employer-side.
Real records over vague promises — the KhayaHR way.
What we stand for
The values behind every decision we make.
Dignity
Every worker deserves a proper contract, accurate payslips, leave records and a Worker Profile they can build over time. We make that the easy path.
Trust
Real employment records, transparent actions and proof matter more than vague promises. ID verification where our checks confirm it — never blanket claims.
Fair employment
We help employers — at home and in business — employ responsibly, without fear, guilt or legal intimidation. Doing right should feel doable.
Opportunity
Khaya Connect helps workers become discoverable and build stronger future employment from the work they already do.
Built in South Africa
KhayaHR is designed, built and supported by a South African team that understands local labour law, the realities of domestic employment, and the needs of the households and small businesses that employ people across the country.
We're committed to a product that serves employers and workers fairly — in warm, direct South African English.
