ROSELAND, N.J., March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP®, a
leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM)
solutions, today announced that Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants,
the leading collection of boutique hotels and restaurants in
the United States, has chosen ADP
for an integrated HCM solution based on ADP Vantage HCM®.
Kimpton, which pioneered the boutique hotel concept in
the United States in 1981 and has
successfully grown ever since, has selected ADP to provide an
integrated HCM solution for its employees. ADP Vantage HCM
provides large enterprises a globally scalable and integrated HR
system with unmatched expertise and comprehensive unified services,
innovative and intuitive employee and manager experiences, and
valuable insights that help companies like Kimpton succeed.
In fact, Kimpton prides itself on the customer experience it
delivers 365 days a year through thoughtful perks and amenities,
distinctive design and a sense of fun for customers. With
more than 100 employees in each of 60 hotels and nearly 70
restaurants and lounges in 26 cities across the United States, the company helps to ensure
those employees are "cared for" so that they, in turn, can focus
relentlessly on guests who rely on Kimpton when away from home.
The company needed the technology and expertise to help it
manage its people, and give them tools to help enable them to
manage their own HR information, said Cheryl Lovelace, Vice President of Accounting
for Operations at Kimpton. She added that the company needed
a solution that is easy to use, and provides access from anywhere
at any time.
Going forward, Kimpton – which has been an ADP client since 2002
– wanted a solution that would deliver employee information in one
central location. ADP Vantage HCM will provide Kimpton
employees and managers a wide variety of HR capabilities including
HR, payroll, time and labor management, talent management, and
recruiting management.
"We're pleased that Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has chosen
to continue and expand their long relationship with ADP for the
technology and service excellence that will help their employees
continue to delight their guests," said Mark Benjamin, President of Global Enterprise
Solutions at ADP. "By letting ADP do what it does best,
Kimpton can focus even more on doing what it does best."
Lovelace said providing a best-in-class HCM system is critical –
and will help Kimpton continue to rank as highly as it does with
employees and customers. This year, the company was included
for the fifth time on Fortune magazine's list of "100 Best
Companies to Work For." Kimpton has the highest customer
satisfaction and emotional attachment scores of any hotel company
in the United States, according to
Market Metrix Hospitality Index™.
In the past, Lovelace said discrete HR processes at each hotel
limited the ability for Kimpton to manage employee careers on a
companywide basis. With their new tools, Kimpton and its
employees will benefit from more robust career-management
capabilities.
"We want to continue to be one of the best places to work and a
great place for our customers to visit," Lovelace said. "Our
investors and our customers continue to have faith in us, and it
all starts with the people we hire."
