"Transformational"
What do you like best about Employment Hero?

Employment Hero has everything a company needs to manage the life-cycle of an individual. The Dashboard provides the snapshot, the recruitment module is fantastic, and being able to upload documents and create templates provides consistency and streamlines practices across the business.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

I'm a big supporter of Employment Hero. I have even provided a demo to an external company on how our company use it.

What problems is Employment Hero solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Recruitment and Selection process in Employment Hero has been a massive time saver for our business. Employment Hero has also streamlined our approval process for things such as increasing headcount, re-advertising for a position and sending employment contracts.

"Complete integration and employee engagement"
What do you like best about Employment Hero?

The Resource Hub is comprehensive and easily accessible. The user interface is easy to use and makes sense. There are so many fantastic tools that are employee-centric and focus on engagement and reward and recognition.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

I'm not sure how to make goals work in terms of the company strategy - there seems to be a layer missing for strategy and vision. It would be such a powerful tool if it integrated with a strategy management platform.

What problems is Employment Hero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our ability to run and track performance management and employee engagement in one place that can be stored for years. It is also currently assisting us with our Working With Children Checks.

"A real time saver and a great communication tool"
What do you like best about Employment Hero?

Employment Hero has transformed our induction and onboarding process. We also use the Company Feed to communicate with the business rather than filling up inboxes with emails. Last year we also delivered our 12monhtly reviews in the EH space, which was both successful and less paperwork.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

Id like some more formatting options for the company feed (colours, larger font, spacing), and I would like to be able to easily re-arrange documents in the Files.

What problems is Employment Hero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Induction and onboarding are easier. Timesheets and leave are now digitised Incident management is easier Less emails in inboxes company wide

"EH is the best and efficient payroll and HR platform for business!"
What do you like best about Employment Hero?

It has cut our payroll process by hours. Our staff appreciate the ease of use and are more engaged with the workplace given EH's capacity. The HR system is amazing, particularly with regard to employee contracts.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

I understand that for security purposes, you need double authentication to log into the Payroll system, so this can be unpleasant, albeit it is a protection mechanism.

What problems is Employment Hero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Minor issues initially with Award specifics, but the system works seamlessly now.

"Love the employee engagement experience"
What do you like best about Employment Hero?

The ease of onboarding new staff is fantastic, shout-outs & recognitions engage the staff consistently & everyone loves Hero Dollars! I also like the fact that it puts the onboarding process and other HR stuff

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

Initial setup takes a bit of work, but the effort is worth it in the end. Some of the integration with Xero is a little clunky - mainly to do with staff leave requests (any amendments or cancellations can require manual intervention)

What problems is Employment Hero solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has assisted us to promote better team management and involvement in the initial stages of new employee engagement. Our next step is the implementation of the EH KPI management system which will remove the use of old/manual documents
