How easy is it to implement ADP TotalSource?

We make it easy by working with you every step of the way. First, you’ll assign a team member from your end to partner directly with us.

On average, this amounts to a time commitment of about one hour per day for the first few weeks.

From there, you’ll meet your dedicated ADP Human Resources Business Partner, who will take you through the different ways we can help you manage your workforce across benefits, compliance, training, hiring, retention, and more. You'll also learn about the experts and specialists across many disciplines working behind the scenes for you. You can expect to be up and running with TotalSource in a few weeks.
