Today’s ever-changing workforce has businesses challenged to stay ahead, while simultaneously handling the necessary day-to-day operations. And even when small businesses experience growth, often they aren’t financially ready to add additional headcount or a full-time HR department to handle talent recruitment, employee tax, time tracking, HR policy and compliance, or administrative tasks. In a market such as Hawaii, dominated by small-to-medium sized businesses that employ a big part of the Hawaii workforce, that added support can be vital to the local workforce.
For more than 15 years, ADP has provided payroll services to Hawaii. The company is now expanding its footprint to offer its PEO offering, ADP TotalSource® to Hawaii to provide local businesses with streamlined services, efficient cost offerings and technology advantages.
Here’s what Hawaii businesses can expect from ADP’s market leading PEO:

1. A local service team. To ensure ADP TotalSource meets the growing needs of Hawaii businesses, ADP has employed an Oahu-based service team of experts who know and deeply understand the workforce, community, and cultures in Hawaii. And, employees of ADP TotalSource clients gain access to ADP’s premium MyLife Advisor support.
2. Award-winning technology to handle all HR and payroll needs. Through ADP TotalSource, Hawaii businesses will now receive award-winning HR technology paired with ADP’s on-island team of experts to help them handle payroll, employment tax, employee benefits and benefits administration, HR and compliance, time tracking, employee scheduling, and workplace safety.  Access to ADP’s mobile app is also included with the service.
3. Unprecedented workforce insights. Hawaii businesses will have access to ADP’s immense pool of workforce data. This means leaders gain the ability to identify trends such as workforce demographics, time and attendance, and turnover so they can take action from day one. Plus, access to ADP’s benchmarking data provides employers the ability to help measure and rapidly improve hiring, pay and management decisions to better compete for talent. The ADP HR experts will help businesses examine these insights and put programs in place to drive savings and improvements.
4. Full benefits for employees at a discounted rate. ADP TotalSource can offer competitive medical benefit prices to employees by providing a wide variety of plans including dental, vision, voluntary benefits, retail discounts and 401(k)-retirement plans.  For smaller businesses with more limited resources, the company’s partnerships with Hawaii’s leading benefits carriers enhance employee benefit offerings, as well as demonstrate an investment into an employee’s health and future. TotalSource also alleviates the company’s administrative burden by handling all benefit administration and employee calls.
5. Employee engagement. Hiring and retaining the right talent can make all the difference in a business’ success. ADP understands what makes people feel inspired and valued at work, and develops programs spanning recruiting, learning, engagement, safety activation, and compensation to help businesses attract and keep great talent.
6. Always on protection for businesses. Ensuring that the workplace is free of health risks, equipped with proper safety procedures, and consistently compliant with regulatory laws is vital for the growth of a company. ADP provides access to experts to help businesses with compliance, employee relations issues, and workers’ compensation, while also providing a legal defense benefit.

“As Hawaii’s newest PEO, we are excited to be on island and look forward to offering local businesses ADP TotalSource’s award-winning customer service and technology,” said Brian Michaud, senior vice president of ADP TotalSource. “From our strategic, local partnerships to our knowledgeable and caring associates, we are immersed in the local community and look forward to going all-in to serve the employees of Hawaii’s small and midsized businesses.”

ADP TotalSource is a fully certified PEO within the state of Hawaii and an essential HR solution for businesses to cover a variety of initiatives with a single partner rather than enlist multiple vendors.  ADP TotalSource’s expansion to Hawaii offers local businesses strategic partnerships, and knowledgeable associates who are immersed in the local community.
