Zalaris shortlisted for two prestigious Reward Strategy Awards

Zalaris, a leading provider of HR and payroll solutions, is proud to announce that it has been shortlisted in two categories at the Reward Strategy Awards 2026, recognising excellence, innovation, and achievement across payroll, HR, reward, and employee benefits.  

Zalaris has been named as a finalist in the following categories: 

• Payroll & HR Technology Provider of the Year 
• Team Excellence Award – Global Payroll 

The Reward Strategy Awards are among the most respected programmes in the HR, payroll, reward, and benefits industry, celebrating organisations and teams that demonstrate innovation, operational excellence, and measurable impact for customers and employees alike. 

Being shortlisted in both a technology and team category highlights Zalaris' continued investment in delivering modern payroll and HR solutions while maintaining exceptional standards of service across complex, multi-country payroll environments. The recognition reflects both the strength of the company's technology platform and the expertise of its global payroll professionals who help organisations simplify operations, maintain compliance, and improve workforce experiences across international markets.  

The Payroll & HR Technology Provider of the Year nomination recognises Zalaris' innovative HR and payroll solutions that help organisations streamline processes and improve workforce experiences. 

The Team Excellence Award – Global Payroll shortlisting recognises the commitment and capability of Zalaris' global payroll team in delivering accurate, compliant, and efficient services across international markets. 

Stephen Burr, UK & Ireland EVP & Managing Director at Zalaris, commented: 

"We are delighted to be shortlisted for both Payroll & HR Technology Provider of the Year and Team Excellence Award – Global Payroll. These nominations reflect the strength of our technology, the dedication of our people, and our commitment to helping organisations simplify increasingly complex HR and payroll operations." 

"To be recognised in both a technology and service category is particularly meaningful, as it demonstrates the value of our end-to-end approach. We are incredibly proud of our teams and grateful for the trust our customers place in us every day. We look forward to celebrating alongside our peers across the industry."  

The winners will be announced at the Reward Strategy Awards ceremony later this year, bringing together leading organisations and professionals from across the HR, payroll, reward, and benefits community to celebrate excellence within the industry.
