Case Study: A’besco Blinds & Awnings transforms HR compliance and team culture with Employment Hero

The HR overhaul that transformed this small retail business

A’besco Blinds & Awnings, a small retail business in Caringbah, New South Wales, was struggling with outdated, paper-based HR processes, weak compliance, and resistance to change as it tried to manage contracts, policies, onboarding, and people administration with limited resources. The company turned to Employment Hero and its Platinum HR product to modernise its HR operations and create a more structured, compliant approach for its team of 8+ employees.

With Employment Hero, A’besco Blinds & Awnings consolidated policies, contracts, employee files, leave, goals, surveys, and asset tracking into one digital system, while also integrating with Xero and giving external HR consultants access to manage documents. The result was stronger compliance, better visibility, improved employee engagement, and a more positive team culture; staff felt more valued, meetings became more proactive, and the business reported improved customer service and more referrals.
