EmployeeConnect: An Australian Story, Built for Your Future

For over two decades, we’ve been the leading HR software provider born from a uniquely Australian challenge: the need for powerful, integrated solutions that don’t compromise on workflow or compliance.

We’re not just a software vendor; we are an Australian success story that services over 90,000 users across four continents. Our commitment is simple: build the most strategic and scalable HRIS so your business never has to settle.

Why We Exist:
Solving the Unsolvable

In 1996, our founders, Craig Macdonald and Ron Schroeder, saw a massive gap: Australian payroll systems were disconnected and inefficient, forcing businesses to rely on paper and email for critical employee transactions.

We bootstrapped a development platform to fix this, creating a workflow engine that seamlessly extended traditional payroll systems. This unconventional philosophy has guided us ever since: we go against the grain to build a company that fundamentally changes the way people interact with software.

Our Core Philosophy: Empathy and Transparency

While many providers offer a one-size-fits-all solution, we provide a boutique service built on empathy and transparency.

  • We Engage: We don’t just sell software; we engage with your unique business issues and use our empathy to design forward-thinking processes that truly fit your needs.

  • We Partner: With a culture of radical transparency, we aim to ensure you are included and involved in every major decision. This approach is why our average client tenure is more than seven years.

What We Do:
The All-in-One HRIS

We evolved from a payroll extension into a leading workflow-driven HRIS that covers the entire spectrum of HR transactions.

1. Comprehensive HR Management

A long client tenure is a direct reflection of our commitment to partnership and stability. It proves we don't just sell software and disappear. It means the platform is robust, our support is excellent, and we continually evolve the product based on client needs, ensuring you have a reliable HRIS for the long term.

Our HRIS was born from a workflow engine, meaning every feature is designed to automate processes and eliminate manual data entry. It ensures that when a new employee is onboarded, or a leave request is approved, the data flows automatically and accurately through all affected systems (HR, payroll, reporting), providing a seamless experience for everyone.

We are a genuinely all-in-one solution. Our platform seamlessly integrates your payroll, recruitment, HR core administration, and performance management. This eliminates the need for multiple vendors and ensures you have a single source of truth for all employee data, avoiding the costs and risks of data duplication.

Our philosophy is about being customer-obsessed and radically transparent, which is actually the safest choice. We are not afraid to tailor our approach to solve your unique problems, which is often impossible with rigid, one-size-fits-all global systems. We combine the agility of a focused developer with the stability of a company servicing over 90,000 users across four continents.
