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.

SD Worx Ireland research reveals 39% of Irish employees are job hunting, driven by skills gaps, lack of training and understaffed teams.

One in five (19%) European organisations list pay transparency among their top five compensation priorities for 2026. Yet only 68% are fully aware of the European Pay Transparency Directive, a directive that all EU Member States must transpose into national law by June 7, 2026, at the latest. Awareness among employees is also limited: only one-third (34%) know what the directive entails and what it means for their rights. This is according to new research by the European HR services provider SD Worx, which surveyed 5,936 HR managers and 16,500 employees across sixteen European countries.
