HR software for Australian businesses.

Human resources software, also commonly known as a Human Resources Information System (HRIS), is a tool that helps businesses streamline and supercharge their human resources operations. It can support and automate a range of HR processes, such as recruitment, employee onboarding, people management and leave management, while also offering powerful HR reporting tools and helpful people analytics.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question – choosing the best HR software for your business will depend on your specific needs. You’ve got a long list of HR requirements to fill, such as:

• HR software that makes the basics simple and adds the right value
• Automation and access to an employee self-service portal for you and your team
• A solution which is easy to implement and doesn’t interrupt BAU
• A system that prioritises security, visibility and streamlined HR processes
• Great service and support, right from the very start

No, you don’t need an HR team to use our software. With Employment Hero, you can manage all aspects of HR yourself, without any existing HR team.

We take protecting your data very seriously at Employment Hero. We use the latest security technologies to protect your data, and our team is constantly monitoring our systems to ensure that your data is always safe.

We’ve achieved ISO 27001 compliance and use the same level of encryption standards that banks use to manage the security of your HR data.

1. Create a culture of reward and recognition – Reward and recognition motivate teams. Employees that feel recognised are more engaged, leading them to be more productive and being 20% more profitable than those that don’t. An effective HR Software should assist you in creating a culture of peer-to-peer recognition, and Employment Hero’s tools can help you do exactly that.

2. Deliver effective feedback – Any good manager knows that constructive feedback is an essential part of keeping employees on the right track. It can easily be forgotten, however, it’s vital to provide it consistently and keep easily accessible notes to refer back to. Employment Hero’s One-on-One (1:1s) tool solves this issue, creating a solid feedback structure between your managers and their direct reports and storing all the data automatically.

3. Define OKRs and goals – Objectives and Key Results (ORKs) are a high-impact goal-setting framework. OKRs consist of an Objective, which defines a big goal to be achieved, and up to 5 Key Results, which measure progress towards the objective. We wanted to reimagine OKRs for easy use by small businesses, and our user-friendly OKRs tool makes it easy for you to set and assign OKRs to your team within the platform.

4. Encourage learning and development – When you invest in learning and development (L&D) for your team, you give them the tools to work smarter and more efficiently. Well-trained employees show both quality and quantity in performance – leading to less wastage of time, resources and money. With Employment Hero’s Learning Management System, you can build custom learning pathways to ensure that your team’s knowledge is always expanding.

5. Free up time from HR admin – Self-service functionality allows your employees to perform routine HR tasks. This includes updating personal details, as well as acting upon HR documents. By reducing your employees’ reliance on you to perform administrative support tasks, you cut costs and response times while improving efficiency, productivity and compliance.

6. Manage employees remotely – Cloud-based HR software allows you to save an enormous amount of time across a range of HR tasks 100% remotely. This includes everything from hiring and onboarding, to managing time and attendance, to processing payroll, and even administering employee benefits. With accurate reporting at your fingertips, you’ll save so much unnecessary administration time, not to mention double handling costs.

7. Reduce time lost from data breaches – Although data breaches should be a rare occurrence, they can have a high impact on employee productivity as the team will need to spend time and resources investigating, resolving, and fixing the issue. Employment Hero offers considerably better security than having your sensitive data locked away in filing cabinets or even password-protected on your computer. We use the same level of password protection, encryption standards and firewall security that banks use.

Absolutely! Our platform is designed specifically for businesses of all sizes. We believe that every employer should have access to cost-effective HR and payroll tools, regardless of business size. It’s not just big businesses that should reap rewards of great HR, people management, and payroll!

We understand that calculating and proving ROI can sometimes be tricky and that’s why we’ve put together this Employment Hero ROI guide on how to build a business case for your new human resource management solution.
