Does CultureMonkey integrate with ADP?
Yes. CultureMonkey connects to ADP Workforce Now. The connector is set up for your account during onboarding, then syncs like every other HR system, so every survey goes to the right people and every report cuts by company, department, location and manager. New hires, transfers and leavers come across without a spreadsheet.
Here is the shape of it once it is running:
- SetupBuilt and switched on for your account during onboarding. You provide API credentials for your ADP Workforce Now account, through a secure channel.
- What syncsEmployees with their departments, locations, job titles and managers, plus fields you map as custom attributes, such as worker category or FLSA status.
- CadenceA full sync when you connect, then a refresh twice a week, or daily if daily sync is enabled for your account.
- DirectionOne way, read only. CultureMonkey never writes back to ADP.
- Employee matchingOn a stable employee ID, such as the associate ID, so people already in CultureMonkey are updated rather than duplicated.
- LeaversMarked inactive, never deleted, when ADP sends them as inactive. Their history and past responses stay intact.

Built around how ADP organizes your people
Company codes, departments, locations and reporting lines already live in ADP Workforce Now. The sync carries them into every survey, so results read the way your HR and payroll teams already think about the organization.
Every ADP company code in one survey
Groups often run several company codes in one ADP account. One survey can cover them all: the group sees the consolidated score, and each company's HR sees only its own people. See multi-entity employee surveys.
- During onboarding our team sets up each company code as a business group and maps your people to it.
- Scope each company's HR to its business group, with comment access set separately from scores.
- Companies that are not on ADP can join the same survey through their own HR system, the API, SFTP or a CSV.
One person, one record, however many positions
In ADP, the associate ID belongs to the person, while each position carries its own file number, and the position ID is the company code plus the file number. Someone who works two positions, or moves between company codes, has more than one file number but a single associate ID.
- Matching on the associate ID gives each person one record and one invitation, even with two positions.
- Matching on file number would split one person into two employees, so it maps to a custom attribute instead, for reference.
- Department, location, job title and Reports to come from the position you treat as primary, agreed during setup.
Seasonal, temporary and part-time: who to survey
ADP's worker category tells you who is full time, part time, seasonal or temporary. Decide who belongs in each survey, then compare the groups you keep, without exposing anyone in a small one.
- Map worker category and FLSA status as custom attributes, then decide for each survey whether seasonal and temporary staff are invited, or include them and read them as their own group.
- Compare full-time and part-time, or hourly and salaried, alone or by location. Small groups stay hidden below your anonymity threshold.
- Reach hourly staff without a work email by SMS, WhatsApp, QR code or kiosk. See frontline surveys.
Whichever ADP product you run
ADP serves larger employers through more than one product. The connector is set up during onboarding for the one you use, and every other route stays open.
- ADP Workforce Now, including its enterprise tier, is the most common source we see.
- If you run another ADP product, such as ADP Lyric HCM or ADP Enterprise HR, the setup is scoped to it during onboarding.
- Any ADP product that exports a scheduled CSV also works through SFTP employee sync, with no API access needed.
How ADP Workforce Now data maps into CultureMonkey
ADP already records which company, department and location each person belongs to and who they report to. Each becomes an attribute every survey report can be cut by, so results read the way your payroll and HR teams already organize people.
| In ADP Workforce Now | In CultureMonkey | What it gives you |
|---|---|---|
| Company code | Business group, set up during onboarding | Each company's results, and an HR scope that stops at it |
| Home department | Team | Department results, down to each manager |
| Location | Location | Site and state results |
| Job title | Designation | Results by role |
| Worker category, FLSA status | Custom attributes | Full time and part time, hourly and salaried, compared |
| Reports to | Manager | Org hierarchy and manager dashboards |
| Associate ID | External ID | One record per person, however many positions they hold |
| File number | Custom attribute | A reference to each position, never used for matching |
