ROSELAND, N.J., November 6, 2025 – ADP was named a Leader across all three market segments covered in NelsonHall's Payroll Services NEAT Evaluation 2025, including Overall, Smart Digital Capability and Multi-Country Capability. Maintaining its strong position, ADP was recognized for its ability to deliver immediate benefit to clients and meet their future requirements in the evolving payroll landscape.
NelsonHall's assessment highlighted ADP's mature, digitally enabled payroll services, deep expertise in U.S. payroll (paying 1 in 6 American workers), and the power of its global reach combined with essential local expertise. The evaluation noted that this capability allows ADP to "reimagine payroll as a high-performing function that maximizes value to the broader business," supported by strategic investments in AI-powered tools like ADP Assist to drive greater automation and a consistent, cohesive global user experience.
Liz Rennie, NelsonHall’s HR & Talent Transformation research director, said, “ADP is a Leader across all market segments for its ongoing innovation, high level of service quality and powerful payroll technologies, including AI. ADP’s leadership position also reflects its ability to demonstrate client value to all sizes of organization with robust processes and security on a global scale.”
The NEAT (NelsonHall Vendor Evaluation and Assessment) tools are designed to help strategic sourcing managers make fast and highly informed vendor decisions. NelsonHall evaluated 18 payroll providers and segmented them into four categories: Leaders, High Achievers, Innovators, and Major Players, with the evaluation focusing on a vendor's "ability to deliver immediate benefit" and "ability to meet client future requirements" over the lifetime of their next contract.
