Units of rate constant (cycles per second vs radians per second) in Eyring equation

In the Eyring equation (EE), $$k = \frac{k_\mathrm B T}{h} \exp\left(\frac{-\Delta G_{\mathrm f}}{RT}\right),$$ the units of $k$ are $\mathrm{s^{-1}}$. … For instance, in expressions for damped oscillations of the form $\exp[(\mathrm{i} \omega - k)t]$, where $\omega$ is by definition in $\frac{\mathrm{rad}}{\mathrm{s}}$ and $k$ has to bear units providing …
