ROSELAND, N.J., March 24, 2015 - ADP®, a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today recognized five large enterprise clients for their outstanding achievements in strategic human capital management. Each year, ADP honors a select group of large employers who have demonstrated a commitment to innovation and partnership in pursuit of HCM excellence within their organizations.

ADP presented the awards this afternoon in Nashville, Tenn., at the ADP Meeting of the Minds 2015 Conference, where more than 1,400 HR and payroll professionals from ADP's largest clients gathered for an inside look at ADP's latest HCM technology and service innovations. These innovations are designed to help clients build a better workforce with solutions that strengthen employee engagement and maximize productivity.

"We never forget that HCM begins with people. We connect with more than 50 million workers because we recognize the human side of work," said Dave Imbrogno, president of ADP National Account Services. "This year's award winners are change agents who share that belief. They are using integrated HCM solutions to nimbly address their organizations' evolving business challenges. They continue to inspire and inform us as we help advance the field of human capital management."

The winners were selected by ADP with input from independent industry experts, who provided an objective analysis of industry best practices and HCM technologies. The 2015 honorees are:
