I feel secure that things are being done correctly, legally and efficiently [with ADP]. I do not know everything, and having ADP at my side brings me comfort knowing I have a partner who is an expert, so that I can focus on other aspects of my role.

- Employees were unable to access and manage their HR and payroll information without going through Renee.
How ADP Helped
- RUN has helped to maintain compliance, run payroll, ensure seamless onboarding and empowered their people with the tools to manage their pay and HR information directly from their phones.

Getting started with ADP
Before switching to RUN, Therapeutic Kneads was struggling to get their needs met and questions answered by their old payroll provider. They grappled with tax issues, especially in special circumstances where they needed expert advice, which their previous provider could not deliver. Even just processing payroll became a huge challenge. The need to switch was rooted largely in compliance issues, which is why RUN emerged as a clear winner for Therapeutic Kneads. “Since moving to ADP in 2016, we’ve never looked back. The ease of using RUN makes payroll a breeze and whenever we’ve had a question, it has been answered quickly and efficiently,” shares Renee.
