ADP + Nectar Integration

Connect ADP with Nectar to automatically sync employee data and power recognition, rewards, and culture programs with always-accurate HR information.

With the ADP integration, Nectar stays aligned with your workforce changes — from onboarding to offboarding — without manual uploads.

Overview

The ADP + Nectar integration helps organizations streamline employee management by syncing core workforce data from ADP directly into Nectar.

This integration is ideal for:

• HR teams managing large or distributed employee populations
• People Ops leaders who want accurate recognition reporting
• Admins looking to reduce manual onboarding work
• Companies using ADP as their system of record for employee data

By integrating ADP with Nectar, your recognition and rewards platform stays current automatically — ensuring every employee is included and up to date.

How It Works

Nectar integrates with ADP to sync employee profile data into the platform, keeping your culture programs running smoothly with minimal admin effort.

What data syncs

Typical synced employee fields include:

• Employee name
• Work email
• Department
• Job title
• Manager relationships
• Location
• Employment status (active/inactive)

Sync behavior

• Employees added in ADP can be automatically provisioned in Nectar
• Updates in ADP flow through to Nectar to maintain accurate org structure
• Employees can be deactivated when removed or terminated in ADP

Authentication method

The ADP integration uses secure API-based authentication and authorized admin access.

Where users interact

Admins configure the integration in Nectar, while employees simply enjoy a seamless recognition experience powered by accurate HRIS data in the background.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"Before Nectar, our turnover rate was around 25%. Now it’s less than 7%, which has made a huge difference for us in keeping our team together."

Kelly Hayes
Director of Human Resources

"Before Nectar, our wellness program participation was just over 35%. Now, we’re seeing participation rates close to 80%, which has been a game-changer for employee engagement."

Lorelei N.
Community Engagement Director

"We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver."

Hannah R.
Senior HR Director

"One of our team members said, ‘It’s the little things like getting recognized that make me feel like I’m not just a number, even when I’m working remotely.’"

Zach C.
Marketing Manager

"Even with everyone working from home, it felt like we were all still part of the same team when we saw those shout-outs come through."

Robin C.
People and Culture Manager

"I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost-saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are."
