ADP offers solutions for different workforce sizes, industries and operational requirements.

Get Started

Run day-to-day workforce operations with greater control

Managing schedules, tracking time and responding to changes as they happen can become difficult when processes rely on spreadsheets or separate tools.

This often leads to:

  • Schedules that are difficult to manage and update across teams or locations
  • Time and attendance data that needs to be manually checked or corrected
  • Limited visibility of overtime, absence or gaps in coverage
  • Additional pressure on managers to respond to last-minute changes
  • Delays in payroll processing due to inconsistent or incomplete data

Workforce management software helps address these challenges by providing a more structured way to plan, track and manage workforce activity across the organisation.

Turn workforce insights into operational action

Workforce activity capture

Workforce decisions are only as reliable as the data behind them. Capturing workforce activity consistently helps organisations maintain visibility across attendance, absence, labour costs and operational performance.

  • Workforce activity is recorded through connected tools used by employees and managers
  • Data is captured consistently across teams, locations and working patterns
  • Information is available to support scheduling, payroll and workforce reporting

A consistent source of time data reduces manual checking and helps teams make decisions using reliable information.

Build schedules around the needs of your organisation

Balance workforce availability, operational requirements and staffing demand across teams and locations.

  • Create and update schedules or rosters more efficiently
  • Plan coverage across shifts, roles, teams and locations
  • Respond to changes in availability and operational demand
  • Consider relevant role requirements, skills or certifications where supported

Clearer scheduling gives managers greater visibility of workforce coverage and makes it easier to respond when requirements change.

Time and attendance tracking

Accurate attendance data is critical for payroll, workforce planning and operational reporting.

  • Capture working time across web, mobile and workplace devices
  • Track attendance, overtime and exceptions consistently
  • Reduce reliance on manual timesheets and data entry

Accurate time records help reduce payroll corrections and provide a clearer view of workforce activity.

Leave Management

Managing leave, sickness and employee availability becomes increasingly difficult when requests and records are handled across multiple systems.

  • Manage leave requests and approvals through connected workflows
  • Maintain visibility of employee availability across teams
  • Track planned and unplanned absence consistently

A clearer view of workforce availability helps managers maintain coverage and respond more effectively to staffing challenges.

Connected workforce and payroll

Workforce management works best when time, attendance and payroll processes operate together rather than through separate systems.

  • Workforce data flows directly into payroll processes
  • Employee information remains aligned across systems
  • Reduce duplicate data entry and manual reconciliation

Connected payroll and workforce processes help reduce administration, improve consistency and support payroll accuracy.

Workforce insights and analytics

Bring workforce information together to understand labour activity, workforce coverage and operational trends.

  • Monitor workforce activity across teams, roles and locations
  • Review labour trends, overtime and attendance information
  • Access available reports, dashboards and key indicators
  • Use workforce data to make more informed planning decisions

Clearer workforce insights allow organisations to identify trends, focus attention where it is needed and plan with greater confidence.

Compliance and workforce policies

Applying workforce policies consistently across teams and locations can become increasingly challenging as organisations grow.

  • Apply rules related to attendance, working patterns and workforce policies
  • Support consistent processes across teams and locations
  • Maintain records that support operational and compliance requirements

Consistent application of workforce policies helps reduce risk and supports fair treatment across the organisation.

FAQs

How is workforce management software different from standalone tools?

Standalone tools usually focus on a single task, such as scheduling or time tracking. Workforce management software connects these processes, allowing data to flow between them and reducing the need for manual updates or reconciliation.

Can employees manage their own schedules and time-off requests?

Many workforce management systems include self-service tools for employees to request leave, view schedules and manage availability, helping reduce administrative effort for managers.

How does workforce management software support compliance?

Workforce management software can apply rules and policies related to working time, overtime and breaks, helping organisations manage compliance and maintain accurate records.
