1. Strategic Advisory Services
Helping You Prepare for Change
Managing a workforce in today’s complex environment
is about more than implementing the latest technology
platform. It’s about taking a comprehensive approach to
Human Capital Management (HCM)…and ADP has a team
of experts ready to help – Strategic Advisory Services (SAS).
SAS provides organizations with insight, actionable ideas, and
added-value support to help you execute your HCM strategy.
Communicating Change: A Key to Success
One of the areas we can help in preparing for change is
strategic communications. Making any type of change within
an organization (moving to a new ADP HCM solution, rolling
out a new benefits plan, or introducing a new ADP Time and
Labor Management system) requires thoughtfully prepared
communications. Having the right communications strategy
in place is critical for building buy-in, increasing awareness,
educating stakeholders and helping to drive desired action(s).
Strategic Advisory Services can help you prepare for that
change and drive understanding and awareness of your new
HCM solution. ADP has dedicated resources to develop an
effective communications plan to introduce any type of
HCM solution, service or process. ADP can assist you with
strategic planning, audience analysis, message and materials
development, creative design, production and printing —
delivering for you as an extension of your team.

What Do You Receive?
The outcome of this meeting is a Strategic
Communications Playbook that you can use as a guide
to communicate the change.

How Does It Work?
While comprehensive in its approach, ADP’s simple
process is designed to help ensure your employees know
what they need to know, what they need to do and when
they need to do it. The process begins with an initial
conversation around what is changing and what action you
need your employees to take. Then, in a half-day session,
ADP experts meet with you and other stakeholders within
your organization to discuss:
• Overall scope of the change
• What you are trying to achieve?
• Who will be impacted by the change?
• What are the possible barriers to success?
• What are the key messages and how should the change
be positioned?
• What communication vehicles have worked in the past?
• What can we try that is new and different?
• How will we measure success?
Strategic Advisory Services has partnered with clients on
a variety of business situations that require a strategic
communications plan to help prepare for change, including:
• Implementing ADP Mobile
• Offering a new Consumer Driven Health Plan
• Introducing a new talent management process
• Moving to ADP Vantage HCM
• Rolling out a new time and attendance solution
