The Challenge
The Kangaroo Foundation faced staff-management challenges, including unclear compensation and benefits, inconsistent performance management, uncertain leave processes, and limited alignment with Cameroon's labour regulations. These gaps contributed to employee dissatisfaction, reduced productivity, high turnover, low morale, and delays in program delivery.
SPETIV Consulting's Intervention
Compensation Framework
Designed a fair compensation framework that supported equity and compliance.
Performance Appraisal
Created a performance appraisal system with clear metrics and expectations.
Leave & Absence
Developed leave and absence guidelines aligned with local labour law.
Employee Benefits
Established benefits guidance to improve retention and trained management on implementation and monitoring.
Impact
Without clear policies aligned with Cameroon's labour laws, the NGO struggled to ensure fair compensation, manage leave transparently, track performance consistently, and retain motivated employees. The result was high turnover, low morale, and delays in program delivery.
Employee Morale
Staff reported greater trust in management and clearer expectations.
Retention
Retention
Productivity
