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.
