Best HR Tech – Human Resource Information System (Gold)

Managing HR processes can feel like a tightrope walk for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with limited resources. Employment Hero aims to change that narrative.

The organisation recently won the Best HR Tech – Human Resource Information System Gold Award at Readers’ Choice Awards 2024, recognised for its innovative Employment Operating System (eOS).

Ben Thompson, CEO and Founder of Employment Hero, told HRM Magazine Asia, “Most HR departments juggle multiple platforms – anywhere between four to seven of them – just to cover the basics. But what if all the in-silos software is synced up with each other to work cohesively?”

The eOS integrates core HR functions like onboarding, payroll, performance management, and career development into one platform. Thompson compared it to Google’s ecosystem, noting, “Think Google’s ecosystem – your emails, calendars, documents, sheets, and decks – everything is in sync, except it’s built for HR purposes. That is what an eOS like Employment Hero looks like.”

Automation within the eOS transforms HR operations by handling repetitive tasks like payroll, statutory contributions, and error checks. “Automation features makes tasks like payroll a breeze,” said Thompson, highlighting the time saved and the elimination of inefficiencies.

The eOS also helps SMEs navigate evolving employment laws. Compliance management, supported by AI-powered tools like Hero AI, ensures organisations stay informed. According to Thompson, “Employment laws are always evolving, and with compliance getting more stringent, it’s difficult for SMEs to keep pace with the new regulations.” Hero AI acts as a virtual assistant, providing real-time guidance on policies and regulations.

More than a productivity tool, the eOS enables organisations to focus on their people. Organisations using it report a 291% ROI within three years, Thompson claimed as he concluded, “Consolidation of HR functions empower organisations to shift focus towards supporting and growing their people.”
