We make employment easier and more valuable for everyone.
Our story.
Ben Thompson witnessed the devastation of poorly managed employment. Instead of facing it alone, he imagined a singular solution: a unified cloud platform scalable for businesses globally.
From this vision, Employment Hero was born – an all-encompassing HR, payroll, and benefits platform designed to power more productive teams and make employment easier and more valuable for everyone.
Better life at work for everyone.
After working with 350,000+ businesses across the globe, we saw firsthand the need for a tool that supports employers in attracting best talent and helps their teams 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.

Humi by Employment Hero
Local Canadian expertise, backed by a world-class AI-powered Employment Operating System.
In early 2025, Employment Hero acquired Humi, facilitating our expansion into Canada. We’ve fused Employment Hero’s global innovation with Humi’s deep Canadian roots. The result? A powerful, all-in-one Employment Operating System (eOS) built specifically for the nuances of the Canadian market. Thousands of Humi SMB customers gained access to an all-in-one platform for payroll, HR, and benefits, designed specifically for Canadian businesses.
For nearly a decade, Humi has been the heart of Canadian HR. Now, as part of Employment Hero, we’ve combined those deep local roots with global-scale innovation. We haven’t just expanded to Canada, we’ve integrated our global engine into the Canadian workforce.
