Why It’s on the List
ADP (Automatic Data Processing) is on the list for the fourth consecutive year as its talent-development and supplier-diversity efforts show marked improvement. On the human-capital front, ADP has intensified the efforts of its five resource groups, including its newest group, for veterans, which was featured at DiversityInc’s Innovation Fest! earlier this year. The other groups are for Blacks, Latinos, LGBT employees and allies; and virtual/homeshored associates. The company has strategic efforts to foster talent development for women, including Women in Leadership. The initiative currently includes efforts to mentor high-potential saleswomen, with the goal of increasing their percentage of senior women. As for supplier diversity, the company’s spend with minority- and women-owned suppliers has increased as new initiatives have been introduced, including a diverse-supplier locator for procurement buyers, an analysis of diverse-supplier spend in high-spend segments, new vendor technology and enhanced communications. The diversity commitment starts at the top. President and CEO Carlos Rodriguez chairs the executive diversity council, meets frequently with resource groups and personally serves as executive sponsor of a group. The council meets quarterly and ties executive compensation to goals that it sets. More than three-quarters of the council members are in the mentoring program. |
