“At first glance, I could see Employment Hero ticked all my boxes, including native integration with Xero Payroll. I evaluated other HR platforms and while it took some time, going through this exercise only served to confirm my first impressions; Employment Hero was perfect for our needs.”
Mitchell Ussher, Operations Manager
“The implementation team was exceptional. From my point of view, the whole process couldn’t have been easier. All I had to do was hand over a couple of files generated from our Xero platform and they did the rest. Communication was excellent throughout and everything worked like clockwork. Our Xero payroll and Employment Hero HR solution are truly in sync.”
Daniela Delinavelli, Employee Experience
Coordinator
“Employment Hero has such a simple but effective interface and really ticked all of the boxes that we needed. It’s such an easy system to use that we had to do very little in the way of training for staff.”
