This award features an organization that has demonstrated incredible organizational agility in the changing world of work.

Parkdale divisions quickly transitioned to producing PPE supplies, bringing thousands of textile workers back to work and responding to the nation's essential need. To manage the transition with their workforce, they relied heavily on ADP's consistent stream of communications regarding COVID-19. ADP's Employer Preparedness Toolkit gave Parkdale information that helped them navigate the overall effect on their workforce, understand the latest legislative updates and potential tax savings opportunities, as well as a COVID-19 employee communication toolkit. Within a matter of weeks, ADP offered an automated process which allowed Parkdale to participate in the Employer Social Security Tax Deferral program for both Parkdale Mills and US Cotton.
