Best Practices of ADP

1.???Recruitment and Welcoming:

• New Hire Orientation Program: ADP inducts every new associate in the organization via a comprehensive three-day new hire orientation program which is conducted by our HR On-boarding partners in collaboration with the Senior Leadership team. Besides getting the joining formalities completed on the first day, the program includes a welcome lunch and a tour of facilities. There are ice-breaking sessions, talks, presentations by heads of business units and support service functions to help and provide associates a comprehensive overview of ADP.
• My Time with General Manager (GM): The highlight of the New Joiner Orientation Program is ‘My time with General Manager.’ In this session, the associates get to interact with our GM for 2 hours sharing about the organization’s strategy, market projections and his general expectations from the new joiners. This interaction is also part of our open-door policy to help associates understand that they can have a one-on-one conversation with any official of any level without hesitation.
• Meet your Leader: During the induction program, we introduce new joiners to their team leaders. Associates visit the business floor to meet their project teams. At this point, the associates are made aware of their responsibilities before reporting to work following the orientation program.
• Business Leader Connect: Business Leader Connect is a platform for connecting new joiners to their leadership team. This is a forum to interact with senior members in the organization and introduce themselves and meet the larger team. The leadership team also makes them aware of the product areas they will be working upon and how they are connected to the success of the organization.?This small initiative also goes a long way in fostering the open-door policy at ADP.
