  • Employee Engagement Tools: Keep your finger on the pulse of the company culture with anonymous, monthly ‘Happiness Scores’. Quickly send templated or custom surveys to analyse feedback. Further support employees with recognition programs and peer-to-peer feedback displayed on the homepage, newsfeed or in the Employment Hero app.
  • Employee Learning: Employee development is the gift that keeps on giving, and through Employment Hero’s Learning Management System, you can assign and track your employees’ progress. Upskill, develop and retain your top talent by offering pre-designed industry-specific courses or creating custom learning paths to keep them engaged and learning. 
  • Focused HR Analytics and Reporting: Employment Hero is here to help you analyse the ‘why’ of the trends you see as you track metrics with your workforce data. You can customise dashboards to focus on the items that are most important to your organisation’s needs and help you make informed decisions.
