What do you like best about Employment Hero?

One of the best features is the automation. It automatically calculates everything, from tax deductions to superannuation contributions, ensuring everything is accurate without the need for constant oversight. The integration with other HR features is seamless too, making it easy to manage employee records and stay compliant with the latest regulations. We recently moved from being a non-award entity to being under an award and I must say Employment Hero features has made this transition smooth. We are loving the ease of implementation for online forms and performance reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

Customer support have changed slightly. There are more steps included now prior to reaching a human customer service. All in all, service is still great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Employment Hero has assisted us in transitioning to a more digital landscape by ensuring that all our forms, onboarding, rosters, and performance reviews are facilitated in one platform. It has also allowed us to make payroll processing more efficient by making use of the roster mechanism available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Thean of Employment Hero

Thanks for the positive feedback Gianmaria, we appreciate it! It’s great to hear how our platform has helped streamline your payroll, onboarding, and performance management, especially during your transition to an award. We love that the automation and integrations are making things easier for your team!

Many thanks,

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

If you have ever found yourself buried under a mountain of HR paperwork, drowning in payroll confusion, or wondering if you actually sent that new employee their contract (spoiler: you did not), then Employment Hero is the workmate you never knew you needed.

This platform is like an HR fairy godmother, waving a digital wand and magically handling onboarding, payroll, and compliance with minimal effort on your part. It takes care of the nitty-gritty so you can focus on the important things, like pretending your Wi-Fi is down when someone schedules another meeting that should have been an email.

One of the best features? Payroll that does not make you want to throw your laptop out the window. It is smooth, automated, and ensures everyone gets paid on time, so no more awkward “uh… where is my salary?” messages from employees. Plus, the self-service portal means team members can update their own details, saving you from being the unpaid personal assistant for half the office.

The perks and benefits section is another win. Who does not love a good discount or reward for just showing up to work? It is like getting a loyalty card for your job, except instead of free coffee, you get real financial benefits.

Overall, Employment Hero makes HR tasks so easy, you might just start enjoying them. Or at the very least, stop crying into your coffee over compliance updates. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Heidi,

We’re so glad to hear that our platform is making your HR and payroll processes smoother and more enjoyable - no more drowning in paperwork or Excel spreadsheet nightmares! It’s great to know that features like automated payroll, seamless onboarding and self-service tools are helping you save time and focus on what really matters. Plus, who doesn’t love a good perk or reward? Thanks for sharing your experience, your support means a lot.

Many thanks,

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

Easy personal info and employment related document storage. Easy ability to manage multiple entities with one login. We love the one button Employee Happiness Survey. Great leave approval and visibility. We use it in our businesses daily. Straight integration with Xero. Great onboarding tool. All 'round it's a robust people management solution. Ive recommended a couple of improvements in the past which have all come through to the web app so the team are clearly invested in producing a high-value product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

The review functionality is robust but not very flexible. It's not always user friendly and sometimes not intuitive but they seem quick to respond to feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

Employment Hero makes managing and storing employee files so easy. Being able to track and update policies and performance reviews is also really helpful when managing an employees lifecycle. As the recruitment feature has developed significantly over the last couple of years it streamlines that whole process and makes sourcing and screening candidates much easier. They constantly update and add new features so I can tell they strive to make their platform the best for it's users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

With constant updates, it can be difficult to stay on top of it all. In the past it feels like the communication of these updates were lacking or delayed making it stressful when things are changing for employees and I don't have answers yet. That being said, their customer support is always very responsive, helpful and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Employment Hero has been great at updating our very old, clunky and manual HR processes like probation evaluations and performance reviews and have made them easier to track, manage and complete for our employees. Having core HR processes available in one place and being automatically linked to the relevant employee's files has been great for saving time and stress when storing these documents.

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

The features of Employment Hero have changed the way we manage all aspects of recruitment, employee details, documents, performance, compliance, training, and employee recognition, to name a few. It has reduced our administration time in the People and Culture space and the regular support that we have been provided and continue to be provided is beyond anything I have had experienced any other platform.

Employment Hero are always adding improvements and take on suggestions for future features.

Nicole is our dedicated Customer Success Manager and other than being incredibly responsive, she is always able to provide the information to enable us to utilise the platform to suit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

The only feature that we would love to see, is form template creation that allow employees to type in information. I believe this has been earmarked as a future feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Employment Hero is solving the need to have multiple platforms to manage the employee lifecycle, documentation and training etc. It has benefited Aspire Hub in so many ways, but mostly by having a platform to enable one source of truth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Thean of Employment Hero

We're so pleased to hear that our platform has been instrumental in centralising your HR processes and providing a single source of truth for your organisation. It's our goal to make employment easier and more valuable to everyone. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we're committed to continuously improving our platform. We'll make sure to pass along your commendation to Nicole for her exceptional support.

Many thanks,

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

The streamlined Recruitment to onboarding to payroll to documentation and performance reviews.

The Award interpretation takes that stress off my hands too which is a big bonus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

When employees lose access to their email account t makes it difficult to then change their account email as they cannot access their old email to approve the change - a choice to text or email re. approval of the change would be an advantage here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Award interpretation - automatically applies the correct pay rates, penalties etc

Termination pays are far easier now!

Onboarding - puts it in the employees hand and removes risk of data entry error. It also ensures that we ahve everything we need from the employee before they begin work with us - including their signed employment contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Thean of Employment Hero

Hi Kyle, thanks for your feedback we're pleased to hear you find a lot of value from our platform and that it's made processing payroll under modern awards easier. Your support means a lot!

Many thanks,

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

I'm so impressed with the flexibility of this system. The ability to customize it to meet our specific organizational requirements is fantastic. It's also incredibly user-friendly for our team members, which is essential. From an HR perspective, the record-keeping and reporting features are invaluable for managing employee information efficiently.

We've found Employment Hero really easy to use and implement. The in-app built in customer support chat-bot is helpful, and the smooth integration with our key systems, from email to payroll, has been a huge plus. It's become an essential tool for our team, and we rely on it constantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

I think it has limited integrations with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

The platform's implementation process was seamless, thanks to the detailed and easy-to-follow step-by-step guides. They covered every aspect clearly and if there was any confusion, the support team was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable during the implementation phase, promptly answering all my questions and ensuring I was never stuck Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

There are some doubled up admin features between Payroll and HR. Firstly, An employee doesnt need access to both Payroll and HR platforms to view the same information. Also - when giving access to an employee to the portal it was a bit difficult to understand whether HR side needed to be used or the payroll side to effect the change.

Most of the available reports are predefined, and creating custom reports needs alot of manipulation of excel sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Time consuming Payroll - now easy to manage and seamless intergration between the time and attendance with clear visibility. Hence less errors and less admin tasks

Compliance - directly intergrated with the Awards. Ensures compliance.

Streamlines tasks like onboarding, employee data management, and performance tracking.

Combines payroll, HR, and employee data in one place.

Offers an employee portal for accessing pay slips, leave requests, and updates.

Good communication tools within the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

EH was introduced to our business at the perfect time. Our employee engagement was low, and we were wasting a lot of time on manual tracking and operations across numerous spreadsheets and apps. We also made many payroll mistakes while working with an external supplier.

Since the launch, employee engagement has consistently been above 7.8 points (out of 10) every month for the past two years. We have not received a single payroll complaint, and we are on top of our KPIs.

Having our employees' files, information, right-to-work documentation, and many other important HR elements all in one place has transformed our operations, allowing us to focus on what truly matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

EH is improving every day!

I still would like to see more improvements in internal comms, onboarding and inductions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

EH has touched every part of our process from on-boarding to exit interviews adding benefits to each step on the way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Employment Hero?

I've been employed for more than 10 years already and was introduced with so many HR portals/system but I would say EH is the best among all. From admin to employee users where employees can esaily access their docs. There;'s no need to ask for HR if they need their bank account number, TFN, employment contract, etc. But the best feature of this systeml is the ability to strealime HR processess. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Employment Hero?

Well, as we say there's always a room for improvement. I think EH can improve on the template downloaded and filled up by Admin. When we print the employment contract, all encoded details through the system are not aligned with the format which is sometimes frustrating especially when you're aiming for consistency and professionalism. Also if we can control the font size during the time of encoding. I hope they would consider this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's not really a problem but EH is good with HR process streamline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
