Our story.

Ben Thompson witnessed the devastation of poorly managed employment. Why reinvent the wheel when you could have a complete, scalable cloud platform that could help millions of businesses?

After taking Australia by storm, we set out to take on the rest of the world, launching internationally in New Zealand, The United Kingdom, Malaysia and Singapore – but our mission doesn’t end there.

Making employment easier and more valuable, for everyone.

After working with businesses across the globe, we saw firsthand how much employees needed a tool designed to fight the rising cost of living, gain control over their finances, and make work more rewarding.

Enter Employment Hero Work: a world-first superapp that redefines the way we work, save and get paid.

Our leaders.

Employment lawyer of 20 years, Ben Thompson, founded Employment Hero alongside Dave Tong in 2014. Since day one, both have been inspired to lift employment to new heights.
