ADP expands HR to smartphones

payroll services giant Automatic Data Processing has moved aggressively to take advantage of the burgeoning growth in smartphone and tablet usage in the workplace, reports Fierce Wireless.

ADP's Mobile Solutions app is a free human resources app that enables mobile employees to check their HR, payroll and benefits information anywhere their jobs may take them.

According to Daily Finance, the app also extends company news and staff directory information to the mobile platform; enabling remote employees to more efficiently interact with the home office (and vice versa).

“Mobile phones are the device you have with you all the time,” says Roberto Masiero, ADP VP of enterprise application architecture.

“For companies with mobile workers, like construction or trucking companies, this app is a phenomenal way to keep them engaged, and keep them feeling like they're part of the team.”
