Training your Managers
Managers play a critical role in the success of Employment Hero’s adoption. They need to be equipped with the necessary skills to manage their teams’ leaves, timesheets, provide feedback, and use the engagement features of the platform effectively. Therefore, it’s essential to provide managers with proper training on how to use Employment Hero.
A well-trained management team will not only feel more confident in using the platform themselves but they will also be able to provide support to their team members in using it and act as advocates for the platform by encouraging their team members to use it to its full potential. A supportive manager can make all the difference in making sure the successful adoption of Employment Hero, so consider having your management team as part of your early adopters to the platform.

Train your Employees
We suggest including the Daily Use Guide in your induction content, which has been written by employees for employees and is downloadable as a PDF. There is a lot of information and you shouldn’t expect your employees to read it cover to cover, but encourage them to use it whenever they hit a roadblock.
Be available to your employees during implementation for any questions they may have to ensure the best outcome and adoption of the Employment Hero platform.
