Commitment Drives Us Forward
Some companies stop when things get tough. We find a different gear. Commitment Drives Us Forward is the story of that perseverance - the quiet, steady determination that defines so many people at SD Worx.
This value is visible in the details: the payroll expert staying late to solve a last-minute issue, the team going above and beyond to deliver for a new customer, the colleague who chooses to keep learning, growing, and supporting others.
We know progress is rarely a straight line. But our commitment to our customers, to each other, and to doing the right thing, is what moves us forward. In this chapter, you’ll hear from colleagues who show what that commitment looks like in action, and why it makes all the difference.
"Though SD Worx is celebrating 80 remarkable years, to me, it feels like a company that's young at heart - vibrant, forward-thinking, and full of ambition.
What I find most distinguishing is how innovative and fast-paced it is, while still managing to stay friendly and collaborative. It’s an environment where people can thrive, contribute and succeed. Coming into SD Worx as part of an acquisition, it has been incredibly rewarding to become part of the SD Worx story. A journey marked by bold goals and shared success to work together to become Europe’s leading trusted provider of integrated HR solutions.
At the heart of it all, SD Worx sparks success through passion, and you can feel that passion in everything we do."
— Eimear Byrne Managing Director Ireland - SD Worx People Solutions – Ireland
"At SD Worx, camaraderie and striving for the best results go hand in hand. It feels like working with friends or family - sticking together and winning together.
In our HR Management Team, we trust each other so deeply that we often don’t need many words. At the same time, we feel free to speak up, share different views, and bring new ideas to the table. It’s a powerful mix of ‘believing in one another’ and a shared commitment that drives us forward.
Some of the most memorable moments happen outside the office - like our cycling days with colleagues and customers, where business and fun blend naturally. I’ll never forget the ride with a group of CEOs that led to five new clients the following week. And hearing the stories from colleagues on workation - those bonds last forever and make our customer service even stronger."
—Bruce Fecheyr Lippens - Chief People Officer – SD Worx People Solutions – Belgium
"For over ten years, I've been a proud Protimer and I worked very closely to a myriad of people at SD Worx. These companies are more than just workplaces; they are communities where top talents come together, challenging projects ignite creativity, and opportunities for growth are boundless (if you have the courage to seize them!). As a Marketing Manager, I thrive on this dynamic environment, driven by a passion for like-minded people and the pursuit of excellence.
What energises me each day is the collaborative spirit and the chance to work with brilliant minds. The joy of seeing innovative ideas come to life and the satisfaction of overcoming challenges brings a smile to my face. Being part of this big family means being surrounded by support, inspiration, and a shared drive to thrive. It's the essence of SD Worx and Protime that makes every moment count for me."

"I’ve already been on a ‘lifelong sabbatical’ for 10 years, after 41 years of ‘service’ at SD Worx.
Thanks to the support of SD Worx, we regularly organise activities for the seniors of SD Worx Belgium. As the chairman of this group, I notice that retirees are still very curious about the ins and outs of SD Worx. We still feel like members of the SD family. The SD family has grown quite a lot in the meantime, and as seniors, we are proud of that—we’ve each contributed our part to it."
—Patric Serverius - Chairman of the SD Worx seniors - Belgium
"For me, commitment is what truly drives us forward. Talent alone is never enough, it’s the dedication of people that makes the difference.
Even though I’ve only been part of SD Worx for a short time, I’m proud of the ambition I see every day: growing as a company, embracing technology with a human touch, and making the leap from domestic to European business. What gives me energy each morning are the people, colleagues and customers alike, whose enthusiasm inspires me. From the start, the connection between SD Worx and F2A felt natural. We share the same values and vision, and while integration is never simple, working closely together makes us stronger. That’s why to me, SD Worx is not just a brand, it’s a family."
— Raul Mattaboni - Chairman Board of Directors SD Worx Italy – Italy
"To me, SD Worx is more than just a company, it’s a passionate, driven people organisation who genuinely care about making a difference.
It’s where innovation meets purpose, and where every challenge is met with teamwork and determination. What energises me most is seeing the impact we have on our clients, helping them thrive through seamless solutions, from payroll to time and all HR functions in between. The real smile comes from the people, the camaraderie, the laughs, the shared wins. I’m proud to be part of this big family, where I get to grow, contribute, and be inspired every single day."

"SD Worx, for me, is an ‘employer of a lifetime’.
The journey we have had in the Norwegian market recent years has been a journey of growth, which we intend to continue. Building a winning, “can do”, inclusive team culture, taking market shares from competitors, continuously improving our operations and customer experience, is not only interesting, IT IS FUN!"
— Rune Alvestad - Managing Director Norway - SD Worx People Solutions – Norway
"Although I’ve been part of the SD Worx Group since 1997, it rarely feels like I’ve been working for the same company all that time. The organisation has transformed so profoundly that each phase has felt like joining a new company altogether. I’ve had the privilege of evolving alongside it, taking on a wide range of roles: from legal consultant to company lawyer, to Chief Legal Officer, Excom member and Board Secretary. In short, I’ve worked for many different “versions” of SD Worx - each with its own challenges, culture, and opportunities. That constant reinvention is what keeps us relevant, and it’s what keeps me energised. Of course, growth brings complexity: new markets, diverse teams, evolving ways of working. But I thrive on collaboration, and it’s the people I work with who truly make the difference. They’re the reason I look forward to each day.
I’m proud to contribute to our shared success, and I believe it’s that collective effort that keeps SD Worx strong."
— Fabienne Lallemand - Chief Legal Officer – WorxInvest - Belgium
"What I love about what we do: People may say: "Come on, HR processes and payroll, that's so boring." You know what: We at SD Worx make sure that people all over Europe can afford their dinner tonight. We in Germany alone make sure that a million hard working people get the right amount transferred to their bank accounts.
That's not what I would call boring! That gives me energy, every single day."
— Tilman Rotberg - Managing Director Germany - SD Worx People Solutions – Germany
"I’ve been part of SD Worx for 25 years, always with great enthusiasm and motivation. It’s a company that offers countless opportunities and supports your personal growth.

— Paul Laurijssens - Manager X-Tend - SD Worx People Worx People Solutions – Belgium
"At SD Worx, commitment means going beyond expectations - continuing until it’s truly right. It’s not just part of our job - it’s what drives us.
Every day, my team and I go the extra mile for our clients and the talented people we place - with solutions that truly make a difference."
