Leading the charge for change: Say hello to Employment Hero’s Partner Network Leaders

Employment Hero has an extensive business community – from small-to-medium businesses (SMEs), to larger corporations and outsourcing partners across various industries and specialties. We’ve got over 750 global partners (our Partner Network), each of whom are trailblazers in their own way. Whether they’re consultants, outsourced providers, advisors (or other!), our partners make up a core component of Employment Hero’s mission in providing value to their clients and end-users.

We’ve got bold, ambitious goals to shake up the HR, payroll and recruitment landscape. What better way to ensure we’re putting people first in our mission, than to form a group of trusted industry professionals and leaders to advise and contribute to shaping the future of employment alongside Employment Hero?

The group has already met virtually, with their first in-person meeting kicking off at the end of May in Sydney where they’ll begin to discuss the current and future vision, evolution and strategic direction for both the product and the Employment Hero community. After that, the group will continue to meet regularly virtually and in person to continue the momentum.
