Why Two Max Group
Experienced, practical South Sudanese HR management
Labour Act 2017 Specialist Knowledge
South Sudan's Labour Act 2017 modernised the prior Sudan-era framework. Our advisors apply the current law to every contract, termination, and entitlement — not the outdated pre-2017 framework some advisors still use.
NGO and Development Sector Experience
South Sudan is primarily an INGO and humanitarian market. We understand the specific HR requirements for development organisations, including donor-compliant documentation and national/international staff distinctions.
English-Language HR Administration
All South Sudan HR documentation is produced in English — the official language — ensuring legal validity and staff comprehension without translation complexity.
Field Location HR Support
National staff are often deployed in field locations outside Juba. Our HR service covers staff across all South Sudan operational locations, not just the capital.

HR events — new hires, salary changes, terminations — feed directly into payroll. No disconnection between HR records and payroll output.
