Employment Hero partners with Leeds Rhinos to support Yorkshire’s businesses and workforce

Employment Hero, a global leader in HR, hiring and payroll software, has today announced a new partnership with Leeds Rhinos.

Employment Hero provides an all-in-one Employment Operating System (eOS) that helps businesses hire, manage and pay their people more efficiently. Its platform brings together HR, payroll, recruitment and employee engagement tools in a single solution, reducing administrative burden and helping organisations build more productive, engaged teams.

The company supports more than 350,000 businesses globally and manages employment for over 2.5 million people, with a mission to make employment easier, more valuable and more rewarding for everyone.

The partnership with Leeds Rhinos reflects a shared focus on people, performance and community. With deep roots in the region, the Rhinos have long played a central role in supporting local communities, both through the club and the work of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, which delivers programmes focused on employment, skills and opportunity.

Through this partnership, Employment Hero will work closely with the club to engage and support businesses across Yorkshire. This will include a programme of activity at Headingley Stadium, bringing together local employers to share insights, build connections and learn from high-performing teams in both sport and business.

Maisie Goss, UK VP Marketing at Employment Hero, said: “As a business, we exist to make employment easier for organisations and their teams. That means helping businesses hire the right people, stay compliant, reduce admin and create better experiences for their employees.

"Leeds Rhinos are a club built on community, opportunity and hard work - values that closely align with our own. This partnership is about supporting the businesses and people who drive Yorkshire forward, and giving them the tools they need to succeed.”

Jamie Jones-Buchanan MBE, CEO of Leeds Rhinos, said: “Leeds Rhinos has always been about more than what happens on the pitch. We are proud of the role we play in the community, particularly when it comes to supporting people into employment and creating opportunities.

"Employment Hero shares that commitment. Their platform is helping businesses manage and support their people in a better way and we’re excited to work together to support organisations and communities across the region.”
