Behemoth Brewing Company is craft beer, but we like to just call it good beer. Behemoth doesn't take anything too seriously except for making great quality beer. We're on Dominion Road, often considered, you know, the artery of Auckland. Before Employment Hero, the organizational structure just wasn't there. Running a business has enough complexity in it. What we don't need is a lot of systems. A one stop shop is much easier to deal with.
From onboarding to offboarding, payroll, recruitment, performance management, with Employment Hero, we've got it all there. One of the benefits we can talk about is specific HR staff. We don't actually have anyone dedicated in that role. Getting someone in HR, you're talking anywhere from a hundred grand. Straight away, that just goes to the bottom line, which is massively beneficial.
Using Employment Hero has made onboarding process become so much easier, which saves a lot more time per onboarding. That's almost a whole day of work that a manager could be doing something else, something that's building the business.
Having an all in one employment operating system has been a huge change for our business.
At the end of the day, it's a system that saved us a lot of time, and when we're saving time, that helps us save a lot of money.
Employment Hero. One system, everything employment.
