The EH Way

At Employment Hero, we’re proud of our unique DNA, which we call The EH Way:

We are Mission First — everything we do (from what we work on, to how we allocate capital and where we focus) is driven by our Mission

We are Remote First — we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and a high degree of autonomy

We are AI First — we are committed to using AI to accelerate our mission; AI is not just a tool, it’s a fundamental part of how we operate, innovate, and scale

We are Apolitical — we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission

We Live by Our Values — we role model our values 100% of the time

We Expect High Performance — we set a high standard and we’re not satisfied with being average
