Act – Strengthening Relationships and Supporting Cultures
Sodexo employees are motivated to make a difference through their everyday actions. They have the ability to put a smile on the faces of customers and guests; to support people in their local community; and to contribute to a more positive future. Sodexo places high priority on developing and nurturing lasting and respectful relationships with individuals and communities. In Australia, Sodexo acknowledges that strong cultures, languages and identities are the foundations of a prosperous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Sodexo continues to strengthen community relationships and provide ongoing support to their cultures. This is the cornerstone of its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and it presents the Group with the strongest opportunity for real and sustainable change.
Thrive – Perform at your best
Sodexo provides all that you need to perform at your best: the tools to do your job well; the opportunity to learn new skills and discover your potential; and a culture where your health, safety and well-being are number one.
Thrive – Apprenticeships in England
In 2022, Sodexo was ranked in the top 100 employers for apprenticeships by the UK’s Department for Education. Some 480 young people in England started an apprenticeship with Sodexo in 2022, representing more than 4% of its total workforce in the country. The ranking recognises employers for their commitment to employing apprentices; their creation of new apprenticeships and the diversity of new apprentices; and the number of apprentices who complete their apprenticeship and progress further with their employer.
Fighting illiteracy in France
In France, Sodexo has undertaken to fight against illiteracy and to support its teams in gaining autonomy and confidence. In 2022, the Group defined the outlines of a program aimed at offering one day of training per week during 6 months to employees who want to improve their basic knowledge. To provide training as close as possible to employees, the program relies on a partner organization with a strong national network.
