Frequently asked questions

What types of questions can I ask Hero AI?

When Hero AI is used in the Australia, UK, and New Zealand regions of Employment Hero, it searches the Help Centre to find answers. Accordingly, it can answer many questions such as: '

  • How do I manage leave?
  • How do I use two-factor authentication?
  • How do I generate a report on employee headcounts?

Hero AI also has two in-built features, which are available in all regions of Employment Hero: Policies and WorkCoach.

  • Its Policies feature searches through your company's policy information. This means you can ask it questions that are specific to your organisation, such as:

    • How is long service leave calculated?
    • What is my company's parental leave policy?
    • What is my company's work from home policy?

  • Its WorkCoach feature provides management and career guidance. It answers questions based on users' personal information such as their Employment Hero, job title and role (i.e. manager, admin, employee, or owner). This means you can ask it questions such as:

    • What skills should I display to help my career development?
    • What kind of training certifications will help me in my role?
    • How can I improve my work relationships?
Does my company have to upload policy information to Hero AI?

Yes. If your company has not uploaded the policy information, you will receive the below message:

I am designed to answer questions about your organisation’s policies. Currently, I cannot find any policies for your organisation. Please contact your admin to add relevant policies.

If anything if missing from Hero AI that you feel is needed, please contact your administrator. 

What kind of policy information will I see?

Hero AI does not maintain any kind of context of the user i.e. which region the user is in, or if the user is a manager or employee. Instead, access controls are determined based on the user permissions to view policies.

It means if an organisation has set up policies in a way that allows UK users to view UK-related policies and AU users to view AU-related policies, then Hero AI will also adhere to this access control. You can only see the policies you are eligible to see based on your User Access. 

How does the Hero AI work?

We use a Large Language Model (LLM) to process your org's policies so that we can give a reply to your employees if they ask a policy-related question. When an employee asks Hero AI a question, the platform identifies the most relevant policy or policies based on this comparison. In addition to policy-related questions, Hero AI also answers general HR and career questions. 

Helpful Hint

No data is stored anywhere but within our secure ecosystem. It is purely processed by a Large Language Model (LLM) API. Neither we nor the Large Language Model (LLM) use ‌client data for model training purposes.

Where is my company's policy information stored?
Your company's policy information is stored in your Employment Hero platform, and no third-party storage apps are used.
