Announcing Cocoon as ADP’s strategic partner in leave management

We’re thrilled to announce that ADP, a global leader in human capital management, has named Cocoon as a strategic partner in leave management. ADP continues to lead the evolution of the workplace with the employee experience at the center. Back in October, ADP announced an investment in Cocoon through their new investment arm, ADP Ventures. Today marks another big stride toward shaping the future of work with Cocoon available to ADP customers right on ADP Marketplace.

“Cocoon empowers our mid-market clients with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of leave and absence management with ease and confidence.”

Leading the way for leave innovation 

ADP Ventures is committed to shaping a future where work is more enriching for People teams and their employees alike. Sound familiar? That’s because the best partnerships are built on a shared vision. 

Cocoon is building the future of work by re-imagining leave with software that automates some of the most complex parts of the leave puzzle for People teams, all while giving employees a modern, seamless experience through user-friendly tools and always-on support. Our partnership with ADP sets the stage not only to bring those tools to many more mid-market ADP customers, but also to work with the expert ADP Ventures team as we evolve our solution with more powerful automation, new leave types, and beyond. 

“ADP is committed to the future of the HCM [human capital management] industry…ADP Ventures invests in technology that enhances the human experience in ways that empower businesses to grow and their employees to succeed at work and life, says Usman Khan, SVP of ADP Ventures. “Cocoon empowers our mid-market clients with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of leave and absence management with ease and confidence.”  

An easy choice for growing companies to navigate leave

Cocoon is now available on the ADP Marketplace, making it quick and easy for ADP customers to implement Cocoon and log in via SSO with their ADP credentials. And, our API integration with ADP Workforce Now® automatically syncs census data to Cocoon in real-time to ensure your employee information is always accurate, up-to-date, and secure. This saves People teams hours each month otherwise spent creating and manually uploading census files to a leave provider—one major benefit of this partnership, and of a software-powered leave platform like Cocoon. Existing mutual customers can immediately take advantage of the integration, too, via the Cocoon Data Connector for ADP Workforce Now®. 

As workplaces become increasingly distributed, the future of work will require digital-first solutions that empower People teams to deliver premium employee experiences without operational complexity. Today's announcement marks a huge step in that direction. As Mahima, my co-founder and CEO of Cocoon, shared: "We couldn't be prouder to partner with ADP, one of the most trusted names in HR and people technology. Their employee-centric approach perfectly aligns with our vision of using technology to simplify leave for People leaders and expand access for individuals.”
