ADP’s portfolio of currently available GenAI- and AI-powered tools deliver the following capabilities:

Easy payroll. ADP Assist validates payroll information. It checks for payroll anomalies and uses GenAI to identify and help resolve missing tax registrations and answer questions by drawing on ADP’s large, up-to-date dataset of compliance information. This saves HR effort and helps clients to ensure employees are paid accurately and on time.

Smart analytics. ADP Assist uses GenAI to dramatically simplify report creation by understanding context and generating insightful reports in an easy-to-understand format. HR practitioners and leaders can easily access internal, national and global workforce data from ADP’s deep HCM dataset to analyze compensation, turnover, candidate profile relevancy and talent market insights.

Human insights. Intelligent and AI-based HR support for employees and clients can anticipate and solve common employee problems across HR, payroll, time and benefits. This reduces frustration for employees and eliminates certain low-value tasks for managers and HR practitioners.

• ADP Assist can send personalized, proactive notifications to employees on their mobile device or desktop to help resolve HR issues quickly, keeping them productive.
• AI-powered conversational interface makes it easy for employees to get the information they need without involving HR.

Search by Intent. The RUN Powered by ADP payroll and HR solution features an omni search bar that understands intent behind the search terms and uses GenAI to mine ADP’s deep knowledge base to deliver easy-to-use and effective content.

“In the age of AI, the better the data, the better the artificial intelligence,” says Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst for Constellation Research, Inc. “ADP is uniquely well-positioned in the field of HCM vendors given the breadth and depth of its data. ADP is using that data to make AI more human, focusing on customer success in a worldwide space. This really makes a difference not only for HR practitioners but for leaders and employees.”
