Case Study: Riverland Group achieves streamlined HR, compliance and tens of thousands in savings with Employment Hero

Efficiency and Revenue Gains for the Riverland Group

Riverland Group, a Victorian hospitality operator running six restaurants and bars, was overwhelmed by slow recruitment and onboarding, inconsistent staff files, contract version control problems, and time‑consuming manual visa checks. HR and Compliance Manager Michelle Tankey sought an automated HRIS rather than another hire and selected Employment Hero for its ease of use, Australian compliance focus and reasonable pricing.

Employment Hero’s web portal centralized employee records, automated visa and certification tracking (eg, RSA), and streamlined onboarding, timesheets, rostering, leave and payroll integration. The solution cut processing time, reduced errors and paperwork, improved compliance visibility, and — according to Michelle’s business case — delivered cost savings “somewhere in the tens of thousands,” moving the Riverland Group toward a more efficient, largely paperless operation.
