# 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**

"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."
