“Employment Hero has been invaluable for our people. “We’re an IT business so there are lots of introverts. It’s a nice way for them to let them know how they’re going, whether it’s positive or negative. I’m not expecting everyone to write a comment on why they’re feeling good. But if they’re below a 4, tell us so we can do something about it.”
