A Message from Maria Black ADP President and CEO

In 1949, ADP started with a simple idea: to help neighborhood business owners pay their people consistently and on time. Driven by this vision, our founder Henry Taub became an early pioneer of the Human Capital Management industry, paving the way for the future of business outsourcing as we know it.

More than 75 years later, innovation is still the heart of our business, and the values that led us to become a global technology leader still guide our way. ADP is more focused than ever on making work easy, smart, and human for people around the world — and a simple idea has evolved into a powerful portfolio of global solutions designed to help businesses of all sizes unlock their full potential.

As we focus on designing a better world at work, we are keenly aware of our responsibility to contribute to progress in business and beyond and are in the fortunate position to support more than 1.1 million clients in over 140 countries. This reach gives ADP unparalleled scale and a view into the workforce like no other, helping our clients support their people by anticipating, understanding and solving for emerging challenges. These insights represent the meaningful stories and experiences of the workforce, along with the growth of businesses, the contributions of their workers and more.

As technology accelerates, it’s our commitment to keep people at the center of every design and decision — and to protect the human moments that make work meaningful. We are so grateful to our 64,000 ADP associates for the important role they play, as they continue to listen and respond to our clients with thoughtfulness and urgency. It’s the reason our clients trust ADP’s unique expertise and exceptional service to support their people and drive their businesses forward.

Because the future of work is about elevating human potential. It’s the place where humanity meets innovation.

That’s why we are always designing for people.

Thank you,

Maria Black
President and CEO
