ADP has been a game-changer for Nassau Candy. It’s enabled us to be more transparent with our managers and hourly employees. Supervisors now have the tools to effectively manage their teams, and employees can access the information they need in their preferred language.

Game-changing visibility
With their previous HR system, managers struggled with piles of paperwork, paper timecards, and employee schedules posted on walls. The absence of shared visibility between HR, the senior leadership team, and managers impeded HR efficiency and led to a lack of financial insight, as explained by Rotter
“Everything was manual before. We were literally printing checks using an internal system. Supervisors weren’t even able to see their employees’ timecards!” The introduction of ADP marked a turning point in modernizing the bakery. Innovation involved upgrading their entire payroll and HR platform, transforming their organizational culture and making operations smoother and more transparent for everyone involved.

Good-bye wall calendar, hello technology
Nassau Candy’s empowerment initiative extended beyond its hourly workforce. Initially resistant supervisors quickly recognized the benefits of the change. New tools enabled them to manage their teams more effectively by providing improved insight into overtime, attendance, and vacation requests without having to rely on HR, a previous necessity. The introduction of shared team calendars was especially well-received.
“Our management team has greatly benefitted from ADP. They love that a team calendar shows them who will be scheduled off. There’s no more paper. There’s no more wall calendar. Everything is within ADP.”
