Our take
People are the most valuable aspect of any business and the HR department is at the core of this. With the introduction of remote-friendly work culture in recent years, there is more demand than ever for cloud-based employment solutions.
Humi is an all-in-one HR platform enabling small and medium-sized companies to tackle all HR, payroll, and benefits solutions-related aspects. What makes Humi unique is the fact that the launch of Humi Marketplace enables clients to access third-party health and wellness offerings from partner companies including Willful, Common Wealth, Inkblot, and more. While most HR tech companies cater to international markets, Humi is only focused on the Canadian market.
Recently, Humi was acquired by Employment Hero, a move that combined global expertise with local insights to better support Canadian businesses. This partnership will drive innovation and allow Humi to offer even more tailored solutions for SMEs across Canada. With Employment Hero's backing, the future is one of great excitement for Humi.

Company benefits
- Remote-first: Humi is a remote-first workplace. While we have a physical office space available in Toronto, all team members have the freedom and flexibility to get their work done from wherever they are in Canada. On day one of employment, all full-time employees are issued a WFH stipend to help customize your space and ensure you have everything you need. We also provide Humigos with the opportunity to use Work-From-Anywhere Weeks, which are designed to give you the flexibility to work in locations in different time zones around the world
- Health and wellness: Caring about employee happiness means caring about your health and wellness. We offer comprehensive medical and dental coverage, plus a flexible health spending account that Humi pays for (no more benefit premiums deducted from your pay). We also provide an Employee & Family Assistance Program which includes access to virtual professional support, such as therapists, nutritional coaching, financial coaching, legal support, 24/7 crisis hotline support, and more
- Flexible hours: We get that the typical 9-5 doesn’t work for everyone, so we have flexible hours that allow you to get work done when you’re most productive. We’ve built a high trust environment where you can structure your day in any way that works for you – so you can make those mid-day appointments
- Equity ownership: We want every Humigo to feel invested in our success. That's why, from day one, we offer equity to all full-time employees
- Time off: Taking time off from work is crucial for maintaining a good work-life balance. Here at Humi, you’ll get three weeks of paid vacation (which jumps to four weeks after two years), unlimited personal days to take care of personal, family, wellness, or home matters, as well as paid time off for paternal leave
- Learning and development: We foster a culture of learning. We believe in the unlimited potential of Humigos and encourage them to be curious and continually develop their skills. We offer an annual Learning & Development Stipend as well as internal coaching programs to support personal and professional growth
- Additional perks: Looking for more? We also offer Humigos a wide variety of perks under Perkopolis, such as gym membership and bike share discounts. We also offer retirement plan matching, virtual mental health services, and volunteering hours to support Humigos’ wellbeing
