ADP Uses Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to Drive a Data-Fueled Future of Work

ADP uses real, empirical, anonymized data from more than 30 million employees to anticipate how human work behaviors will evolve, and the impact that macro trends will have on the way people want and need to work. This year's Datathon focused on unearthing new ways to use the company's data and encouraging technologists across the company to incorporate data into all practices. "Our first Datathon was about testing the speed and process by which we can leverage our world-leading HCM database, which compiles proprietary data from over 90,000 clients," said Marc Rind, chief data scientist at ADP. "This time around, we brought in partners from across ADP to explore their needs and ideate on comprehensive solutions. We gathered the industry's greatest innovators for two weeks of end-to-end development, and will ultimately be able to deliver unmatched value to our clients as a result." Three teams conceived solutions that used machine learning and artificial intelligence to bring ADP data to life for how the future of work will evolve in three key areas, and outputs included the following.
