At the helm of their HR department is Chief Human Resources Officer, Tom Aldrich, who has been with Investar Bank for over 10 years. He oversees the HR department’s operations, which include payroll, compensation, training, recruiting and benefits.
Having access to these reports about our own workforce is something we didn’t have before coming to ADP, but they’re crucial for helping us plan for our growth and our future. Accessing to our own information like that on ADP has been a game changer for us.

Challenges
- Payroll and HR for employees across multiple states was marked by manual inputs and lack of uniformity on compliance related items
- Disparate systems made company data difficult to obtain and unreliable
- Lack of integration and system infrastructure limited company growth
How ADP Helped
- Through partnership with ADP Comprehensive Services, Aldrich and the team at Investar Bank found the solutions they needed to leverage their company data, maximize efficiencies and digitize paper-bases-processes in exchange for quicker, more accurate organizational processes.

Maximizing time with technology and integration
With a small six-person team, Aldrich knows the value of spending less time on busy work and more time on initiatives that can help the company grow. Before their partnership with ADP, Aldrich says many of their processes were still done with pen and paper.
“The benefit we’ve gotten from transitioning our process to digital with ADP has been huge from a time-savings perspective,” says Aldrich. “Now we get to spend more time with employees and participate in organizational development.”
With all systems integrated on one platform, Aldrich saves so much time and manual work. “At the end of the day, the integrated technology makes everything better and easier for employees, managers and practitioners.”
