21 May is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, but where are we with paying attention to diversity in the workplace? Today, six out of ten companies in Europe are committed to an active, neutral recruitment policy. A representative study by SD Worx, European market leader in HR and payroll services, across 4,371 companies of all sizes and active in a range of sectors shows that they are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion when hiring new staff. Yet there is still a long way to go when it comes to following up and reporting on diversity goals, even though this is considered particularly important by employees under the age of 30 entering the labour market.

Leading European payroll and HR services provider SD Worx has extended its contract as main sponsor of the best women's team in the UCI rankings until the end of 2026. "We want to pull out all the stops to maintain the leading position of Team SD Worx. In addition, by extending our sponsorship we want to help facilitate the further development of women's cycling in general", says CEO Kobe Verdonck.

The leading European payroll and HR services provider SD Worx has signed a partnership with PayGroup to support its European multi-country customers having branches in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region. PayGroup started operating in 2005 and is one of the top three independent payroll and HR providers in Asia-Pacific, providing mission critical services across 82 countries.

Just over half of European white-collar workers say they have a flexible work arrangement. Within certain limits, employees are given more freedom, such as staggered working hours. Half the white-collar workers surveyed indicated that tracking their hours worked helps them maintain a good work-life balance. These were the results of a recent study by European HR and payroll service provider SD Worx.

More than 33 percent of European companies struggle to keep their payroll in order due to the complexity of local legislation, the new SD Worx Payroll Proficiency Index has found. In addition, research shows that more than 4 out of 10 companies are now exclusively using cloud technology for their payroll process.

The leading European Payroll and HR service provider SD Worx is taking a majority stake in the Belgian company, huapii. Huapii offers a talent platform that gives employees ownership of their career through skill and performance management. This way, SD Worx is strengthening its talent management offering, while huapii is being given a springboard to break through internationally.
