Best HR Tech – Payroll Solution (Gold)

Payroll may not always make headlines, but its impact on business success is undeniable. It connects people, drives trust, and shapes how organisations support their workforce in an increasingly digital world.

At the Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, ADP was recognised for redefining payroll excellence through innovation, reliability, and a strong commitment to service. The global human capital management (HCM) leader clinched the Gold Award for Best HR Tech – Payroll Solution, marking a significant milestone following its Silver win in 2023.

“We are truly honoured to receive the Gold Award this year. It’s deeply gratifying to see our hard work recognised, especially following our Silver Award in 2023,” said Jessica Zhang, Senior Vice-President of ADP Asia-Pacific. “This recognition motivates us to keep striving for excellence and delivering our very best.”

Zhang noted that ADP views payroll as more than just paying employees—it is a powerful connector between organisations and their people. Beyond ensuring accuracy and compliance, payroll plays a strategic role in business transformation by safeguarding data, protecting people, and generating insights for smarter decision-making.

As organisations navigate the changing world of work, payroll has become increasingly important. HR and payroll leaders today must balance talent acquisition, productivity, pay equity, and data security—all while maintaining operational agility. ADP’s approach combines global reach with local expertise, bolstered by insights from the ADP Research Institute. This combination enables clients to manage their workforce more effectively and unlock the full value of their human capital.

“Innovation with purpose remains at the heart of what we do,” Zhang explained. “We embrace AI as a powerful enabler that enhances our HR and business solutions—automating tasks, unlocking insights, and driving efficiency. Yet, we firmly believe that technology is most impactful when complemented by human touch.”

With over 75 years of experience, ADP continues to shape the future of payroll and HCM by tailoring its solutions to meet diverse business needs. Zhang emphasised that a one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. Instead, ADP focuses on customising its services to empower organisations today while laying its foundation for future success.

“Thank you once again for this award. We look forward to continuing our mission to empower businesses and their employees through effective payroll solutions and beyond,” she added.
