WorkFlex wins the VDR Innovation Award 2026
WorkFlex has been recognised by the German Business Travel Association (VDR) for automating cross-border compliance end to end.
We are proud to share that WorkFlex has won the VDR Innovation Award 2026 — recognition from the German Business Travel Association for the way our platform automates cross-border compliance, from the first trip request to the final filing.
Why this award matters
A single day of work in another country can trigger A1 certificates, posted-worker notifications, visa requirements and tax exposure — and getting any of them wrong can mean fines that reach six figures. Most companies still manage this by hand. WorkFlex replaces that with an automated workflow backed by 150+ in-house compliance and technology experts.
"Being recognised by the VDR is validation from the people who know business travel best. It tells us the industry is ready for compliance that simply runs in the background." — Patrick Koch, Co-Founder & Managing Director
Why the VDR jury chose WorkFlex
The jury highlighted the breadth of what WorkFlex covers in one platform — business travel, workations, assignments, visa & immigration and duty of care — and the fact that real experts and up to €5M of liability cover stand behind every automated check, not just software.
What this means for our customers
For the HR and Global Mobility teams who rely on WorkFlex, the award changes nothing day to day — and that is the point. Compliance keeps running quietly while your people travel and work where the business needs them.
