Today, ADP, a leading global technology company providing human capital management (HCM) solutions, recognized five companies for their success in leading innovative workplace transformation initiatives that foster a culture of engagement. These five companies, World Wide Technology, Mercy Housing, Party City, Honeywell, and Penske Automotive Group, will be featured during Episodes One and Two of the ADP Meeting of the Minds Online Series, a four-episode series culminating in a robust virtual conference in the fall.

Adapting to this time of change, this year’s virtual format provides attendees with techniques and strategies to empower their workforce and help them thrive.

“As the way we work continues to take on new shapes and directions, it is essential that meaningful connection continues. I am honored to recognize and celebrate our award winners whose achievements offer inspiration to all of us and show us what it takes to drive true change in the workplace,” said Debbie Dyson, president of National Account Services at ADP. “Our 2020 winners exemplify the transformative power of HR by leveraging innovative HCM solutions to enhance productivity, build engagement, and deliver to the bottom line.
