[TEXT: Aisha Thomas-Petit, Chief Diversity, Inclusion, and Corporate Social Responsibility Officer]
Hi, I'm Aisha Thomas-Petit. I am the Chief Diversity, Inclusion, and Corporate Social Responsibility Officer, and I've been with ADP for six years.
What attracted me to ADP when I was considering coming out of financial services was really an organization that was focused on transformation and technology. And so I never expected to sit here before you as the Chief Diversity, Inclusion, and CSR Officer. It wasn't even a thought in my mind.
I came to ADP with full intention of making a positive impact on the organization, bringing with me all of the skills, knowledge, competencies that I had developed in financial services. But I did not put a career roadmap together. I was really just, if I could use the word "chasing," I was chasing experiences. I was chasing an opportunity to learn about an industry that I knew very little about.
This is an organization where people, no matter what business unit or function you represent, everyone wants this amazing company to be successful. And whether you're playing a product role, working on our next-gen products, whether you are in our sales function and making sure that we're tapping into every single type of client, whether you're an HR business partner or working in our finance organization, everyone has, at the core, the desire to serve our clients and the desire to do what it takes to ensure that this company stays around for another 70 years.
Every day for me is a great day when I have an opportunity to sit with an associate, to sit with a leader one-to-one and learn something, something that will serve to benefit the diversity and inclusion and CSR work that I have strategically planned for and that the team is strategically planning for and executing against. So those are great days for me.

[TEXT: Mia, Lead Application Developer]
So I am the tech lead on the IWIN central board. We have 5,000 members across the board in all the continents. IWIN stands for International Women's Inclusion Network. And each different location also has a local chapter. So here in Alpharetta, we have a local IWIN chapter that is always meeting up, expanding their network. We also provide videos and chats about ways to break the glass ceiling, especially for women. And so it provides a lot of mentorship and different opportunities for women to really reach out and expand their network, get to know others.
[TEXT: Jyotsna, Lead Product Manager]
This is my first time attending the Grace Hopper Celebration. And I am a speaker. So it's fascinating. I'm thrilled to be representing ADP on the stage. And the topic I'm speaking on is designing a happy career and loving your work. We all work. And as women, and the amazing women I've had chance to observe, we've work a lot more. We are perfectionists that even after we have done something, our mind tells us, hey, there's something more that you can do. And you would not hesitate to log back in, and you know, do what you got to do to make it better, because we are awesome.
[TEXT: Samantha, Senior Platform Engineer]
I was able to attend a women engineers conference at Harvard this year. I was able to go with one of my colleagues. And we attended this conference to be able to connect with other female engineers. Really, as we know, that's a problem in this industry is that there's not enough of us. So being able to see so many female engineers was really powerful and empowering as well. So I was able to go to the different talks and the different panels. And I summarized my experience in an article. Though being able to share that with different people at ADP, was a really great experience.

Hi. My name is Fred. I'm with a global product technology organization with ADP. I was a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps for six years, and I've been with ADP for 22 years.
[TEXT: Fred, Application & Technology Specialist]
I am a end user computing specialist, so we take care of the associate and all of their productivity. One of my primary roles is taking care of our senior executives in the building. We have two XCOM members, and my role is to make sure that they don't have any technology issues, and if they do, to resolve them.
One of the things I had missed from the military was camaraderie, where the people that you work with every day really care about you and want to make you succeed. Here at ADP, I have found a very similar environment of camaraderie where people really care about each other and about the environment and the community as well as wanting people to succeed in ADP.

[TEXT: Brianne, Manager - Product Management]
So how I found my way into a tech career, it was completely by accident. I went to college at NYU for classical theater. And all I ever wanted to do was perform Shakespeare. And so I actually just reached out to a friend one day, going, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm looking at my expenses for the month. I'm looking what I bring in each month. And I don't want to move back in with my parents. I can't do that. Do you have any advice? And she was working at an ad tech company. She gave me this opportunity of a really entry level position in sales operations.
[TEXT: Amira, Manager - Apps Development]
When growing up, even in high school, that's what I majored in. And I knew that I would go through college and study computer science. It was a no-brainer for me. And I don't know why, to be honest, because my environment was not very tech driven or anything. But I was just drawn to it.
[TEXT: Roopy, Sr. Director - HR]
I actually started out in law school. So, once I was in, I didn't quite feel like it was a good match. I had a mentor, actually, who was the head of HR for a security company. So we had quite a few conversations. I got to learn more about what HR involves and the different aspects. Never a boring day, that's for sure. And so hearing him talk about how many different components of HR there are and the fact that you can either be a generalist or you can be a specialist, there were endless opportunities within this space.
[TEXT: Rachel, Manager - Project Management]
I just always enjoyed math. And I remember being in sixth grade, and I remember them putting us in a room. And we were able to start programming, and it was the ability to actually program. And that excited me. And I always went towards the direction of scientific in nature. So I was encouraged to go to school for engineering.
[TEXT: Gargi, Senior Tech Project Manager]
When I was in high school, there were two things that created so much news. I grew up in India in a very small town. And in '97, IBM's Deep Blue computer actually defeated Garry Kasparov. And then there was also a lot of conversation about Y2K bug. And to me, both those topics were very fascinating. If a computer could actually defeat a world chess champion, for me, the possibilities seemed so unlimited. And I decided I was leaving to pursue computer science and engineering. I did do that and ended up working in technology.

Video: ADP at Grace Hopper
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[TEXT: Jyotsna, Lead Product Manager] As women, the way I feel that-- I would be a very different person if only I had known about Grace Hopper many, many years ago. The value I think from attending Grace Hopper is the amount of exposure that you can get by attending a conference and the amount of people that you can network while there, but that you can learn. The learnings are not just from books, and not from degrees and certificates-- they all have their values-- it's not about that, but it's about you, your own career journey because you are unique. Your path is what you're going to leave your footprint on and it needs to be specific to you. So these exposures of what's out there and there are so many of us-- 25,000 people attending the Grace Hopper in Orlando, Florida, and women in tech-- 25,000-- that number is mind-boggling, and it gives us an opportunity to help make a difference by sharing what we do amazingly well at ADP. So many of us here-- we're all in this planet together-- and we can all learn and grow individually. So I see us all as individual stars of excellence. So, individual leaders of excellence and that's whom I hope to meet, and inspire, and learn as well. So-- pretty excited by that.

Living our Culture
Cycle for the Cause: 150 riders, 4 days, 1 cause
We put our helmets on and headed out on the 275-mile Ride – from Boston to New York City – to raise money and awareness in the fight to end HIV/AIDS.
This epic journey brought us to 20 different cities, putting our months of training to the test two years in a row. It wasn’t easy, but with ADP as an Endurance Sponsor for the Ride, we raised more than $900,000 over the last two years. Cycle for the Cause, The Northeast AIDS Ride, is an annual event that Team ADP proudly supports in body, mind and spirit.
In support of working mothers
Women make up more than 50 percent of our workforce at ADP. Our commitment provides an environment that empowers working mothers to advance and succeed through mentoring, networking opportunities, workplace flexibility, and an inclusive culture.
ADP is proud to have been named to the “Working Mother 100 Best Companies” list numerous times. We recognize the challenges families face in managing work life balance and value our associates’ priorities.
