SD Worx, the leading European HR and payroll solutions provider has appointed Sophie Henrion as the new Managing Director of SD Worx Luxembourg. A Belgium native, Sophie has extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the local and international HR market. Sophie will lead a team of 90 employees providing human resources management and administration and support to 650 companies. Core services include calculating the salries of 35,000 employees per month.   

Henrion brings a wealth of experience to her new role. Previously, she was Business Director South at Protime, where, as a member of the management team, she was responsible for the local sales and consultancy teams, and growth strategies in Luxembourg, Spain, France and Wallonia. With SD Worx, she was previouslt Sales Director at SD Worx Luxembourg, where she played a key role in developing and rolling out the local market strategy. Henrion takes over the position from Elodie Cobut, who is now leading on the French market for SD Worx. 

    Attracting frontier employees remains a challenge

    Almost half (47%) of workers in Luxembourg are cross-border workers. Figures from Statec show that by 2035, there will be another 100,000 jobs that cannot be filled by Luxembourg residents. That changes SD Worx's role as a services provider far beyond managing payroll in the market. 

    "It is incredibly important to listen to the challenges of the employers we assist on a daily basis. We offer tailor-made solutions for small companies, as well as medium-sized and large organisations," says Sophie Henrion, Managing Director at SD Worx Luxembourg. "By combining our expertise in local and international employment, we can assist Luxembourg employers and employees in what they need, such as attracting talent and simplifying procedures. In doing so, I want to be close to our own employees and support them in the growth of the company.  That way, they too can develop as individuals and be part of a positive transformation."

    Dominique Tassent oversees Benelux and Southern Europe comments: "Our offering is constantly being adapted to our clients' needs, with a focus on strengthened legal guidance, outsourced HR services and tailored digital solutions for our clients. Sophie's proven industry experience and her passion for supporting our clients will help us strengthen and expand our position as a leading HR partner in Luxembourg.”
