Sodexo continues to roll out Vita, its global employee benefits program.
Taking care of its employees when it matters most. This is the vision behind Vita, a fair and inclusive employee benefits program created by Sodexo in 2023, and the first of its kind in the sector, which provides a core set of financial and social protections and personal support. Each employee* is entitled to parental leave, a life insurance benefit, paid care leave and personal assistance, including in the form of psychological support (free of charge, anonymous and available 24/7).
In Fiscal 2024, the roll-out of this program was stepped up. It is now 100% available, particularly for employees in France and a number of European countries, and in the United Kingdom, China, Canada and Australia.
The rollout also continues in the United States where, since January 2024, a replacement income benefit is paid to employees* temporarily unable to work because of sickness, maternity or following an accident. In addition, in compliance with Federal laws, a Family Care Leave is now offered, enabling full-time employees to use up to five sick days to take care of a family member.
Sodexo is pursuing its ambitious goal of offering this industry-first program in at least 60% of the countries in which the Group operates by the end of 2024.
