SYDNEY<\/span><\/span>, Oct. 17, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Ben Thompson, CEO and Co-Founder of Employment Hero, the global authority on employment, has been named Technology category winner at the\u00a0EY Entrepreneur Of The Year\u2122 Australia<\/span> awards, recognising his leadership in building one of Australia’s<\/span> most successful technology companies and transforming how people work.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

“This recognition belongs to the team. They’ve driven our mission with me from day one: to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone on earth. It’s a huge privilege to serve small businesses. They’re under recognised for their contributions globally but we’re very proud to champion them,” said Thompson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EY’s program, now in its 25th year in Australia<\/span>, honours founders who drive progress through purpose, growth and impact. These principles have guided Employment Hero since its inception. What began as a vision to simplify employment for small business owners has grown into a global Employment Operating System that helps companies hire anywhere, pay anytime and engage everyone.<\/p>\n

Today, more than 350,000 businesses and 2.5 million employees across Australia<\/span>, New Zealand<\/span>, Singapore<\/span>, Malaysia<\/span>, the UK and Canada<\/span> use Employment Hero. The platform gives small and medium-sized businesses access to tools once reserved for large enterprises.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Employment Hero surpassed A$300 million<\/span> in annual recurring revenue and achieved EBITDA profitability. The company also launched a two-way talent marketplace, and expanded EH Work, an employee superapp that brings career management and financial wellbeing together.<\/p>\n

Before launching Employment Hero in 2014, Thompson worked as an employment lawyer, witnessing how small businesses struggled with compliance and administration. That experience sparked the idea for a single digital platform to manage HR, payroll, recruitment and engagement.<\/p>\n

Thompson added “I would like to congratulate Laurent Boillon for being named EY Entrepreneur of the Year, and all category winners. Entrepreneurship is critical to Australia’s<\/span> prosperity, I’m grateful to EY, the judges and this year’s inspiring finalists who continue to push what’s possible in the technology and founder ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year\u2122 program has recognised exceptional founders for more than 25 years in Australia<\/span> and over 60 countries worldwide. The program celebrates entrepreneurs who inspire innovation, create jobs and drive inclusive economic growth.<\/p>\n
