Case Study: Steve Madden achieves streamlined global HR efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint with ADP Next Gen HCM

Stepping forward with HCM innovation

Steve Madden, a global lifestyle fashion brand with about 4,000 employees across 80 countries, needed to modernize HR to streamline processes, improve employee experience, support DE&I and pay-equity goals, ensure compliance, gain a single global view of the workforce, and reduce its carbon footprint.

By implementing ADP Next Gen HCM, Steve Madden automated payroll and recruiting workflows, introduced employee and manager self-service, digitized acknowledgments and terminations, and consolidated analytics for DE&I and pay-equity reporting. The result: faster onboarding and payroll, fewer manual tasks, stronger compliance, a paperless workflow that reduced environmental impact, a more strategic HR function, and recognition with ADP’s Innovation at Work award.
