Research published today ahead of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development (May 21st) highlights a lack of focus on progressing diversity in the workplace. Findings from the European study by HR & payroll leader SD Worx has found that, while an encouraging 68% of UK companies are committed to removing unconscious bias from the recruitment process, many are still falling short in implementing a systematic reporting system that tracks against solid ED&I objectives.

New research shows almost half of UK employees demand flexibility (47%) and commitment to providing a work-life (41%) balance from their employers, as the lines between the nation’s private and professional lives are blurring more so than ever before.

The UK is paving the way in payroll proficiency compared to its European counterparts, with over half (53%) of British companies using sophisticated technology to make payroll easier. Across Europe, the greatest pain point for payroll is ongoing, complex and ever-changing local legislation.

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.

SD Worx, a leading international HR and Payroll services provider, has announced a vendor partnership with Silver Cloud HR – an independent consultancy that supports businesses in selecting, implementing and managing their HR systems.

SD Worx has been announced as a finalist in the Technology Company of the Year category by the prestigious British HR Awards.
