Case Study: Heartwood Partners achieves streamlined HR, payroll and recruiting efficiencies for portfolio companies with ADP

Partnering to find efficiencies for portfolio companies

Heartwood Partners is a private equity firm that emphasizes autonomy for its roughly 30 portfolio companies. When companies want to find efficiencies or change HR systems, Chief Human Capital Officer Bruce Ennis evaluates their practices and, if appropriate, connects them with partners who can help address challenges such as payroll inefficiencies, recruiting and onboarding, performance management, compliance and pandemic-related tracking.

Ennis often introduces portfolio companies to ADP through the ADP Partner Advantage program; ADP then troubleshoots payroll, digitizes benefits enrollment, automates performance management, improves recruiting and onboarding tools, and provides compliance updates and COVID-tracking resources. Portfolio companies report increased efficiency, better recruiting support, stronger compliance guidance, useful benchmarking via ADP DataCloud, and positive service from ADP account teams.
