The increase in the number of disabled employees is in line with the general increase in the Group’s workforce, as the Group hired 500 new employees with disabilities during the year, representing 2.1% of the workforce in 2022.

Sodexo is a member of The Valuable 500, and has a long-standing partnership with the International Labor Organization through its Business and Disabilities network. This network seeks to raise awareness of disabilities among companies and to promote the inclusion of new employees with disabilities.

Sodexo participated in DuoDay, a French government initiative to promote the recruitment of people with disabilities in France. During this edition, 332 offers and 171 internships took place throughout France.

*The number of training hours excludes Germany due to constraints imposed by trade unions. It is underestimated in France where the number of training hours is only captured for active employees as of 31st of August 2022, and doesn’t capture all training hours followed by employees having left the company during Fiscal 2022.

Investing in the development of our employees through training is a priority which is reflected in the 18.5% increase in the number of training hours per employee during the year. This year, we created several virtual training modules on the topics of corporate responsibility, data awareness and operations support which has enabled us to reach more employees at more sites.

We created the Sodexo Academy during the year to offer training programs to enhance the positive experience of employees and to guarantee to our clients that our employees have the necessary skills to work effectively. The Sodexo Academy is led by learning and development teams from Sodexo's head office and regions. The Academy's roadmap prioritizes the provision of a solid training base for our on-site employees and our new recruits, taking into account the specific requirements of on-site work and the training challenges that this represents.

The global training program on empathetic and collective leadership, which started in 2021 in France and will be extended to our global teams in 2022, aims to engage all of our 1,600 top managers via an individual digital pathway and group coaching.
