ADP Workforce Now is a cloud-based integrated human capital
management solution offering robust HR, payroll, benefits
administration, talent management, time and attendance management,
and analytics functionality. The solution helps midsized companies
focus on what matters most: Their business, their employees and
their bottom line.
ADP will be offering its midsized clients new to ADP Workforce
Now a custom HR practices benchmarking tool designed by The Hackett
Group to help them identify critical business issues and areas that
should be targeted for HR and payroll performance improvements. ADP
also will offer customers customized intellectual property from The
Hackett Group, including best practices and process flows, to
assist them in configuring ADP Workforce Now, along with relevant
research and HR process benchmark metrics from The Hackett Group’s
extensive library.
ADP Workforce Now users will be able to use the benchmarking
tool as a scorecard, updating it as they make progress, and seeing
how their performance improves over time.
This new offering to ADP’s midsized clients expands on the
existing partnership between ADP and The Hackett Group, which
offers dedicated best practices advisory services to large
enterprise clients that use the ADP Vantage HCM® solution.
“Our research has proven that technology is only one part of
achieving world-class HR performance,” said Harry Osle, The Hackett
Group Global HR Advisory Practice leader. “It takes a balanced
focus on people, processes, technology and information to achieve
world-class performance. This expanded alliance will enable new ADP
Workforce Now clients to begin their implementation efforts with a
clear understanding of where their greatest opportunities for
improvement are, and how they can address them. It will also
provide this unique insight to the ADP implementation team,
allowing them to set up and configure the software consistent with
customer priorities and Hackett Best Practice references.”
“Companies of this size are generally in growth mode, and HR is
often too busy fighting fires to focus heavily on best practices in
HR,” explained Osle. “By relying on our empirically-proven best
practices, they can achieve far greater ROI, see results more
quickly and position themselves to provide better strategic support
to the enterprise.”
The Hackett Group’s research has found that top performing HR
organizations operate at 64 percent lower cost than typical
companies with under 2,000 employees, and spend dramatically less
on transaction processing, recruiting and staffing, and payroll
administration. They rely on 63 percent fewer HR full-time
employees to serve 168 percent more employees. Also, the talent
management maturity leaders have 17 percent higher levels of
overall workforce productivity.
In addition, top performers are significantly more effective,
and see 45 percent fewer data management, HR reporting, and
compliance errors, freeing staff to focus on strategic issues such
as talent management. Less rework means less cost and more time to
focus on the people issues.
“We’re delighted to be offering new ADP Workforce Now clients
access to the best practices, benchmarking tools, and research data
from The Hackett Group,” said John Ayala, president of Major
Account Services at ADP. “This alliance further strengthens ADP’s
commitment to help clients better navigate their path to
world-class HR by providing them with access to HCM industry best
practices.”
