Announcing SuccessionHR’s Integration with ADP Workforce Now®

Succession planning is no longer an annual HR exercise. For many organizations, it has become a critical part of leadership continuity, business resilience, and long-term talent strategy.

But if you’re still managing succession planning through spreadsheets, static documents, or disconnected workflows, it can be hard to keep plans accurate and actionable. Your workforce data is always changing. New hires join the organization, leaders move into new roles, reporting structures shift, and readiness conversations evolve over time.

When your succession planning process is disconnected from your core workforce data, you can end up spending too much time chasing updates, rebuilding reports, and trying to make decisions with information that may already be out of date.

That’s why we’re excited to share that SuccessionHR is now an ADP Marketplace partner for both the U.S. and Canada, and integrates with ADP Workforce Now (U.S.) and ADP Workforce Now (Canada).

If you’re using ADP Workforce Now as your HRIS, you can now integrate with SuccessionHR to help turn your ADP® data into actionable succession planning insight. With SuccessionHR, you can identify key roles, manage successor pipelines, track readiness, and surface leadership risk with greater confidence.

Benefits of Integrating ADP Workforce Now and SuccessionHR

SuccessionHR works as a leadership risk intelligence layer that sits alongside your HRIS.

By integrating SuccessionHR with ADP Workforce Now, you can turn workforce data into a more connected and actionable succession planning process. Instead of manually maintaining spreadsheets and static succession plans, you can keep key role, successor, and readiness data aligned with organizational changes automatically.

  • Reduce manual work: Automatically sync employee and organizational data from ADP into SuccessionHR to eliminate duplicate updates and spreadsheet tracking.
  • Keep succession plans current: Stay aligned with org changes, promotions, and new hires without manually rebuilding succession plans.
  • Surface leadership risk earlier: Gain clearer visibility into key roles, successor readiness, and bench strength gaps before they become business risks.
  • Move beyond static succession planning: Manage successor pipelines, readiness, and development progress through a more continuous process.
  • Support better leadership discussions: Deliver executive-ready dashboards and reporting for succession, talent risk, and leadership continuity conversations.

Build a More Resilient Leadership Pipeline with SuccessionHR Integrated with ADP Workforce Now

Succession planning is most valuable when it helps organizations stay ahead of leadership change — not react to it after the fact.

By integrating SuccessionHR with ADP Workforce Now, you get a more continuous and visible approach to leadership continuity, helping your team spend less time maintaining spreadsheets and more time developing future leaders.

  • Stay ahead of leadership gaps: See where your organization may be over-reliant on a small number of leaders or missing Ready-Now successors for key roles.
  • Build leadership pipelines over time: Succession planning works best when it’s ongoing. Track successor readiness, development progress, and bench strength continuously — not just during annual reviews.
  • Create more accountability beyond HR: Give business leaders clearer ownership over key roles, successor development, and readiness progression across their teams.
  • Support growth and organizational change: As your organization grows, restructures, or evolves, keep succession planning aligned with changing teams and reporting structures.
  • Give executives clearer visibility into leadership risk: Support succession discussions with dashboards and reporting designed to help leadership teams understand readiness, risk, and bench strength more clearly.

Extend ADP Workforce Now with SuccessionHR

SuccessionHR is built specifically for succession planning — helping you spend less time maintaining spreadsheets and more time developing future leaders.

Your team can answer critical questions with greater confidence:

  • Which roles are most critical to business continuity?
  • Who is ready now — and who needs development?
  • Where are the biggest bench strength gaps?
