SD Worx press room

One year after the coronavirus was first reported in Europe, HR and payroll specialist SD Worx looks at the damage in the business world. It asked employers in eight different countries about the impact on aspects, such as general operations, the financial results and employees' mood and well-being.

Thirty per cent of employees believe that employers do not provide enough opportunities for employees to continue to develop. Only slightly more than half (53.4%) indicate that they can decide for themselves which training courses they may/can attend. These are the results of research conducted by payroll and HR services provider SD Worx in Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

SD Worx, a leading European HR & payroll services provider, has appointed Patricia Molenaar as Senior Vice President for Mid-Market Large Enterprises, Public Sector and International Markets. Patricia Molenaar will join the Executive Committee and report directly to CEO Kobe Verdonck.

SD Worx, a leading European HR & payroll services provider, achieved a consolidated turnover of EUR 743.3 million (-3.2% compared to 2019) and a normalised EBITDA of EUR 77.3 million (+15.3% compared to 2019) in 2020. The normalised EBITDA includes investments in digital transformation for an amount of EUR 11.8 million.

European companies have different views on whether to outsource more or fewer HR projects in light of the coronavirus crisis. While roughly one in three say they are prepared to take on a greater share of their HR tasks internally, more than a quarter (27%) want to do the opposite and call on an external partner more often. This is the striking split that has come to light thanks to a European survey conducted by HR and payroll specialist SD Worx.

Within the context of work management, European employees attach the most importance to their salary package, although they find it difficult to discuss this with their employer. Job content and recognition follow in second and third place in terms of importance. This is what a European survey by HR and Payroll Specialist SD Worx shows.

How do companies guarantee that all looming skill gaps are dealt with in a timely way? The traditional approach – hiring permanent, payrolled employees – is still favoured in most European countries, according to an international survey conducted by European HR and payroll services provider SD Worx. However, more and more HR departments are expanding their horizons. With COVID-19 making smart workforce management even more pressing, employers should seize the opportunity to thoroughly revisit their talent strategies.

An international employee survey conducted by HR and payroll services provider SD Worx amid the COVID-19 crisis shows that most employees would prefer to have more digital options when handling HR-related issues. Employers seem to have understood the urgent need for change, with 64.8% of them having short-term plans to improve their HR service delivery to employees. The ultimate goal: boosting their rather low employee engagement scores.
