When setting up your new platform, you can invite staff members to become Early Adopters. This allows them to explore the platform alongside you during the setup phase, helping both admins and early adopters to learn about the platform together. Early adopters will receive emails from Employment Hero to aid in navigating the platform during setup. You can find a list of these emails in the Further Information section below. You must first activate Setup Mode and the Setup Dashboard for your organisation before inviting early adopters.
