TIFFANY DAVIS: It's core to how we will continue to be innovative, how we'll grow as an organization. And while we're talking about inclusion and diversity in particular, I must also call out equity as well as belonging. Many times, I get the question of your title is Inclusion and Diversity Officer, but those are not the only two facets of this work that's actually important.
Inclusion, of course, is important to us because we want to make sure that we have an environment where all feel welcome. Diversity, on the other hand, is where we can respect and make sure that we take into consideration the differences of people.
But when you think about equity, it's really around the fairness and a number of different facets. Not only compensation, opportunities, access, tools and resources that we actually provide to our associates. And belonging is actually that feeling. We want people to actually feel like this is an environment where you're welcome, where you're safe, and where you can actually thrive. And so when you think about that, that really makes up the ecosystem of what is important around inclusion as well as diversity here at ADP.

RABEYA: My parents are from Bangladesh, and I am first generation here.
JEN: So personally my mom was an immigrant from Germany.
NEWSY: I've never felt like I've had to hide who I am, I'm very proud of being born in the Dominican Republic.
DEREK: There's definitely diversity, equity, and inclusion at ADP. I am able to be myself, so when I come into work, I feel comfortable. I don't have to put on an act and then change that once I leave.
JADA: I feel like I can 100% be who I am. I feel like I'm accepted 100% completely and totally. When I walk through those doors, I know that they're going to see me for who I am.
RABEYA: My managers, my senior leaders are always talking about how we can do more to help everyone feel included. I remember once it was at the end of Ramadan we have a holiday Eid, and I took the day off for Eid, and then the next day when I came in my coworkers had the whole spread of different food, and they had little signs that said Eid Mubarak. Knowing that my coworkers care about my background and my religion feels like home, it feels like family.
NEWSY: Diversity, equity, and inclusion at ADP is something that's taken very seriously. It's not just something that we do to check a box. I was selected to be part of a development program that lasted a full year, and this development program was specifically for multicultural associates. So, ADP wanted to make sure that we had the tools, and the mentorship, and sponsorship, and training needed, in order to be prepared to become people leaders. That in itself just shows me the dedication that ADP has to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
JEN: ADP really does focus on making sure that no one person or group feels undervalued or underrepresented in any way, and they want you to feel a sense of belonging. Different cultures, experiences, mindsets, even self-identifiers are welcomed, they're celebrated, but they're also respected.

ANDRE: What motivated me to come out? I think not being true to myself was not an option.
[TEXT] We asked our Associates about their “coming out” experience at work…
ANDRE: I actually came out in my interview. When I was asked where I see myself in the future-- in the near future, five years from now, and that's an integral part of who I am because I really, really want to be a father. And being a gay man, I do have to jump through a couple additional hoops to accomplish that.
CARMELA: I came out at work because I wanted to be able to share with, not only my coworkers, but even with my clients, the love that I have with my partner, my wife. It should not impact and will not impact the work and-- the performance of work that I provide.
JAMES: I had friends who worked in ADP already who were also members of the LGBTQ community who could really talk to my team and the people that I'd be working closely with and kind of filled them in on what type of person I was. So going into a new company was really easy, and that conversation was really easy.
MARIANA: How seriously ADP takes the zero-tolerance policy for any type of discrimination in the work environment. This, for sure, encouraged me to slowly start including my wife's name into conversations with my team in a natural way until I came out completely to everyone.
TONDREA: I'm not sure I technically had a coming out experience here at ADP, and the reason being is that I had already been out for several years-- both personally and professionally-- before I came to ADP. But I will say this, that as soon as I walked into the doors of ADP, I could tell almost immediately that I could be authentically me and that this place was a place that celebrated diverse points of view.
LACEY: It was after I had all of the support and love from the members of the community within ADP, my fellow members of ADP Pride, they really gave me the strength that I needed to come out in my personal life. So really, if you think about it, I came out to my ADP family before I came out to folks in my personal life. So I think that's a testament to the culture that we have at ADP.
LEONARDO: And when I was talking with my manager, she asked me, what would be something in the company that would make a big difference for me to take a decision to work for a company? And I said that diversity would be very important, because I'm gay. And since then, it was not necessary to start any other conversation. Also, with my teammates. So it was very natural, my coming out experience.
