Employment Hero saves the (working) day
EMPLOYMENT Innovations has launched Employment Hero – where employers can list jobs for free – calling it an ‘online ecosystem’ that also helps business leaders to navigate Australia’s complex regulatory environment.
“Employment Hero is much more than a job board,” Employment Innovations chief executive officer Ben Thompson said.
“It’s an engagement platform to attract and retain talent and to provide employers with a simple, effective way to comply with regulations and differentiate themselves as a best-of-breed business.”
Employment Hero will help to break down barriers to employment, assisting the side of the market that actually creates jobs, Mr Thompson said, as well as employees.
“The Employment Hero online ecosystem enables employers to list job opportunities free of charge and subsequently manage all aspects of employment within a business,” he said.
“Employment Hero represents a disruption to the job market and we firmly believe that the traditional model of charging companies to place job ads is antiquated.
“We appreciate that businesses are looking for support to provide great jobs, while employees are seeking peace of mind.”
Mr Thompson said Australian businesses must comply with a complicated regulatory landscape – including legal documents that detail wages, loadings, allowances, penalties and other conditions that must be paid to employees. Compliance is critical, but most small business owners don’t have the expertise to correctly interpret, monitor and apply awards.
He said Employment Hero was designed as an accessible, cloud-based award compliance platform “to help employers and employees alike find their way through the complex world of awards, to remain both compliant and competitive”.
The Employment Hero platform has already proven popular across the retail and hospitality industries,” he said.
“These sectors are where Australians learn to work and Employment Hero helps businesses become compliant and gives employers – and prospective employees – workplace confidence.”
The employment platform is integrated and cloud-based, helping businesses manage the entire employee life cycle from hire to retire, including human resources (HR) services, live HR support and outsourced payroll services with rostering and award interpretation.
Employment Innovations is hardly new to the employment management scene – having succeeded in helping Australian employers to navigate the complexities of the employment landscape for more than two decades – but it has lately transitioned its services effectively to digital delivery platforms.
Mr Thompson said the Sydney-based company has deep expertise in connecting and supporting job seekers looking for the best places to work offering rewards, recognition and great culture. It also assists employers seeking to build the best workplaces by offering a deeper level of engagement, compliance and streamlined processes.
“Employment Innovations leverages technology to provide the best fit for employers and job seekers to connect,” Mr Thompson said.
“The company’s approach is predicated on a pivot within the industry that has enabled it to transition from providing professional services towards software and cloud-based products that solve real business and employee issues.
“Employment Innovations provides businesses with the tools to treat the workplace as a strategic asset and deliver an unparalleled experience to employees to help attract and retain the best talent.”
