activpayroll has been shortlisted in two categories at the 2026 Global Payroll Awards: Global Payroll Supplier of the Year and Transformation Project of the Year. The dual recognition highlights the strength of activpayroll’s global payroll, mobility, tax, HR and international payment solutions, alongside the company’s sustained investment in innovation and its commitment to supporting clients in more than 150 countries.
The announcement comes during a landmark year for activpayroll, as the business celebrates its 25th anniversary, and coincides with the 10-year anniversary of the Global Payroll Awards - an important milestone for the wider industry. Securing shortlist positions in two highly competitive categories reflects both the quality of activpayroll’s submissions and the organisation’s continued impact across the global payroll landscape.
The Global Payroll Supplier of the Year nomination recognises activpayroll’s capability as a fully integrated global payroll partner, delivering end‑to‑end payroll, mobility, tax, HR and payment solutions through a blend of advanced technology, in‑country expertise and a partnership‑led service model. The Transformation Project of the Year nomination acknowledges activpayroll’s role in delivering complex global payroll transformation programmes, featuring its recent project with Mundipharma to consolidate and standardise payroll operations across multiple regions into a centralised, scalable framework.
Gary Henderson, CEO of activpayroll, commented:
“Being shortlisted in two categories is a proud moment for our entire organisation. It reflects the dedication of our global teams, the trust of our clients, and the progress we continue to make in shaping a more connected, compliant and technology‑enabled payroll landscape. As we celebrate 25 years of activpayroll, this recognition reinforces the strength of our vision and the value we strive to deliver every day.”
activpayroll continues to differentiate itself through a people‑led, technology‑enabled approach. Its global teams combine deep local knowledge with operational expertise to navigate complex compliance requirements across jurisdictions. This is supported by activ8, the company’s proprietary platform, and integrations with leading HRIS providers such as UKG, Workday, HiBob and Sage People - enhancing visibility, automation and consistency for multinational organisations.
Winners of the 2026 Global Payroll Awards will be announced on 4 June 2026 at Gran Villa Rosa in Sitges, Barcelona. activpayroll looks forward to joining peers from across the industry to celebrate a decade of achievements and recognise excellence across the global payroll sector.
