"We're honored to receive such notable recognition of our efforts to help people achieve greater success at work, a focus that's always been core to ADP," said Maria Black, president and chief executive officer of ADP.

By building an easier, smarter and more human world of work, we can help move people closer to the work they love to do and the greatest impact they can make."
FORTUNE collaborates with partner Korn Ferry on this corporate reputation survey, which evaluates approximately 1,500 companies, including the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue and non-U.S. companies in the FORTUNE Global 500TM database with revenues of $10 billion or more. Korn Ferry surveyed 685 companies from 29 countries to select the largest for each industry. To determine the best-regarded companies, Korn Ferry asks executives, directors, and analysts to rate enterprises in their own industry on criteria from investment value and quality of management and products to social responsibility and ability to attract talent. A company's score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
The complete list appears in the February/March 2026 issue of the magazine, available on newsstands beginning February 17th. To learn more about FORTUNE magazine's list of the "World's Most Admired Companies," please visit here. Learn more about ADP at ADP.com.
