Employment Hero is an Australia-founded technology company that has grown into a leading provider of cloud-based human resources, payroll, and employee engagement solutions. Established in 2014, the company has expanded rapidly, now serving tens of thousands of businesses and millions of employees across multiple international markets, including the UK, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand.

The company’s vision is to make employment easier and more rewarding for both employers and employees. By consolidating HR, payroll, recruitment, benefits, and performance management into a single digital platform, Employment Hero reduces the complexity of managing a workforce while improving employee experience and engagement. Their model appeals particularly to small and mid-sized businesses, offering enterprise-level capabilities at a cost and scale accessible to growing organisations.

Employment Hero is also known for its focus on innovation and employee empowerment. The company has invested heavily in automation, AI, and mobile-first design to help businesses adapt to a fast-changing world of work. Beyond software, it also differentiates itself by offering integrated benefits, wellness resources, and employee rewards programs that extend value beyond traditional HR functions.

With headquarters in Sydney and a growing international presence, Employment Hero combines localised compliance expertise with global technology ambitions. It has secured significant investment to fuel its growth and continues to expand its product and geographic footprint. The company positions itself as more than just an HR platform—it’s building a complete “employment operating system” designed to reshape how businesses attract, manage, and retain talent in the modern economy.
