Case Study: Gemaker achieves streamlined remote HR and better employee wellbeing with Employment Hero

Gemaker Uses Employment Hero to Manage Virtual Workforce

Gemaker, an award‑winning remote-working consultancy supporting researcher organisations and STEM SMEs, needed fully online HR processes to centralise documents, benefits and systems for a distributed team on a small budget. Operations and Resourcing Manager Jessica Simpson replaced siloed spreadsheets and manual admin by adopting Employment Hero’s cloud HRIS (signed up via ANZ) to give employees and managers a single digital platform.

Employment Hero delivered a budget-friendly, cloud-based solution that centralised personnel data, provided policy templates with acknowledgement tracking, and offered wellbeing perks and free workshops via My Benefits and online webinars. The platform reduced manual HR work, improved business continuity and compliance, and boosted staff engagement—helping Gemaker operate like a larger organisation while keeping costs low and making remote work simpler and more sustainable.
