SD Worx confirms strong strategic momentum in Q1 2026, driven by digital innovation and AI

Quarterly updates

SD Worx, the leading European provider of HR and payroll solutions, reports a solid start to 2026, with continued growth across its core European markets and rising demand from companies seeking compliant, scalable HR and payroll solutions.

In its Q1 2026 Quarterly Update, SD Worx underlines how its strategy, focused on delivering measurable customer outcomes, is translating into tangible progress, reinforcing its position as a leading European HR and payroll partner. SD Worx is embedding AI across its organisation, from payroll operations to product development, with emerging agentic AI already enabling a hybrid model of human expertise and intelligent automation. 

    This quarter reaffirms that our strategic direction is delivering results. Digital innovation is not a goal in itself, but a driver of better outcomes for our customers. We are already beyond the exploration phase of AI, actively putting it into practice with concrete deployments in compliance, implementation acceleration and agentic solutions. At the same time, we continue to invest and continuously explore how AI can further enhance the customer experience
