At TheWorkrate, we believe in making compensation simple.
We give organisations localised data to make confident pay decisions and build trust in compensation, across the continent.
Our Origin Story
TheWorkrate was born from a vision to bridge a critical gap in the African market. Too many organisations are forced to rely on guesswork when making strategic talent decisions. We created TheWorkrate to change that.
Our goal is to help organisations succeed by providing the tools to manage their largest operating expense - people costs. By doing so, we play a small but important role in strengthening African economies and creating fairer opportunities for talent.
Our Values
We empower organisations to reward people equitably, driving engagement, motivation, and retention of talent.
Relationships over transactions
Partnerships matter more than one-off wins.
Build with heart and authenticity
We design solutions rooted in integrity and context.
Fast is better than slow
Progress matters; our clients and economies can't wait.
Dare to design the future
We don't copy global templates, we create Africa-first solutions.
Championing Pay Equity and Inclusive Growth
We believe in pay equity, decent work, and inclusive growth for all.
These principles drive stronger economies and fairer societies. Every benchmark, dataset, and product we build contributes to this vision, helping organisations in Africa grow while ensuring people are rewarded equitably.
