Employment Hero, the leading employment lifecycle platform for
SMEs, announces core updates to their technology stack,
implementing AI across multiple areas of the platform.
The announcement comes at an auspicious time; the UK is
experiencing a productivity crisis and technology like AI has the
potential to transform the economy.
However, there is an accessibility issue amongst UK SMEs.
According to recent research 68% of large companies have
incorporated AI technology, but this stands at 15% for SMEs. For
many, AI feels unattainable because they don’t have the budget to
invest or the time to train staff.
Ben Thompson, founder of Employment Hero, commented:
“Employment Hero is levelling the playing field for SMEs.
Technology isn’t elitist - it shouldn’t be reserved for big
businesses. SMEs make up 99% of all businesses; they contribute 50%
of global GDP. It’s fundamentally wrong that they should fall
behind on AI advancements just because they’re small.”
“I built Employment Hero to help these businesses grow. Now, we
can achieve that quicker than ever before.”
Employment Hero currently serves 300k SMEs and 2m employees
globally. They identified three key areas for enhancement: payroll,
HR advice, and recruitment.
Kevin Fitzgerald, UK MD of Employment Hero,
commented:
“The average SME can spend almost 40k per year managing core
employment tasks - that's equivalent to around 8% of their payroll.
Employment Hero can significantly reduce these costs and increase
efficiency by 80%. It's a no brainer.”
Enhancements in Key Areas:
Payroll: Employment Hero’s AI is trained by experts with
over 30 years of experience in managed payroll, enabling the
world’s smartest, most efficient and accurate AI for payroll.
HR Advice: The AI-powered chat-bot, HeroAI, significantly
reduces time spent answering repeat questions. It analyses
workplace policies to provide direct answers to employees in
seconds.
Recruitment: Employment Hero’s, SmartMatch breaks the
traditional recruitment model using AI. It automatically lines up
talent for every existing role, making costly job advertisements
obsolete.
