Working with our employees
to build…
An Expertise-Driven Business
Sodexho takes a segmented approach to its activities in order to be a recognized
specialist in the world of education, corporate life, health care, defense, and
remote sites on land and at sea. But our understanding of these markets would
count for nothing without the expertise and shared values of our employees, who
pool their talents and skills to improve the Quality of Daily Life for all who share
living or work spaces.
“SODEXHO WORLD”: INTERACTION AND IDEA-SHARING
Organized by the Sodexho Management Institute, “Sodexho World”
is a three-day program attended by newly hired or promoted executives
from all segments and countries in which we operate. The program provides
an opportunity for them to interact and meet with members of the senior
management team. The aim is for these new managers to “discover, breathe
and grow the diverse, rich world of Sodexho”.
SUCCESSFUL INDUCTION
In many countries, we offer induction programs,
introducing new employees to the breadth and diversity
of our activities and promoting a shared culture.
