ROSELAND, N.J., Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP®, a
leading global technology company providing human capital
management (HCM) solutions, has been named a Leading Inclusion
Index Company in the 2021 Seramount Inclusion Index (formerly
known as the Diversity Best Practices Inclusion Index), receiving
recognition for its efforts to foster an inclusive workplace. This
recognition comes on the heels of ADP earning a spot on Seramount's
2021 Global Inclusion Index, which was launched in May to assess
global efforts.
"We are committed to creating workplaces where people can thrive as

"One of our guiding beliefs at ADP is that each and every
associate has the potential and power to positively impact our
business and shape the innovative solutions and exceptional service
we offer," said Bob Lockett, chief
diversity and talent officer for ADP. "Within ADP and within the
world of work, we are committed to creating workplaces where people
can thrive as their authentic selves and raise the bar on their
possibilities."
Since 2017, Seramount (formerly Working Mother Media) has helped
organizations understand trends and gaps in demographic
representation through its Inclusion Index. This year, 193
organizations provided data and were measured in three key areas:
best practices in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of
people from underrepresented groups – women, racial/ethnic
minorities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people; inclusive
corporate culture, including leadership accountability; and
demographic diversity for women and racial/ethnic minorities. This
year, questions on how organizations are addressing racism were
included in the survey as well.
"The need to address inclusion in the workplace continues to be
a priority for corporate America," said Katie Oertli Mooney, vice president of diversity
best practices at Seramount. "Progress has been made, but we must
remain steadfast in our efforts. We are proud to recognize our
Inclusion Index companies for their dedication and for putting in
the necessary work to effect real, sustainable change."
In its commitment to create a culture of inclusion, ADP has
programs and initiatives in place to recruit, retain and advance
diverse talent. Since 2017, ADP President and CEO Carlos Rodriguez has been a signatory of the CEO
Action for Diversity and Inclusion Pledge, which demonstrates
leadership's dedication to advancing diversity and inclusion within
the workplace. ADP offers business resource groups to support and
connect associates, employs fair and equal hiring practices
including diverse slates and interview panels, and proactively
supports pay equity and diverse leadership representation.
Additionally, to disrupt bias and drive inclusion, ADP trained its
executives and hiring leaders on unconscious bias, inclusive
leadership and allyship. During 2020, ADP also created an
enterprise task force focused on hiring, development, promotion and
pay retention for people of color.
In recognition of ADP's efforts, ADP also ranked eighth on
DiversityInc's 2021 Top 50 Companies for Diversity list. To help
organizations further their own diversity, equity and inclusion
efforts, ADP also offers a DEI toolkit with best practices,
tools and resources.
