The age distribution of our workforce is moving towards a greater representation of employees under 30 years of age, while the proportion of 40-60 year old employees has decreased compared to the previous year. Recruitment programs aimed at young graduates and apprentices partly explain this change in the age distribution of the workforce.
The slight decline in the average length of service is in line with the decline in employee retention explained below.

The hiring of nearly 50,000 additional staff over the year is the result of the implementation of recruitment strategies geared to our on-site activities. This strategy was deployed during the year and enabled us to meet our hiring needs, despite an economic context characterized by a very dynamic labor market.
In North America, for example, we established local recruitment centers throughout the country to more effectively reach our recruitment targets. We also offered improved benefits to encourage candidates to join Sodexo. The WinBack program in India has also proven successful in motivating former employees to rejoin Sodexo.
