Quality of Life in the workplace helps drive performance

People perform better in a pleasant working environment. Sodexo designs, manages and delivers solutions for clients to improve daily life in the workplace and to help employees to be more efficient.

Nutrition and well-being

Eating is an essential part of daily life. We associate mealtime with pleasure, friendly conversation and, of course, good health. With this in mind, Sodexo offers a full array of customizable foodservice formulas.

 

Healthy living

In addition to planning and providing varied, wholesome, well-balanced menus, we help employees enjoy the benefits of healthy living.

In the United States, for example, we have set up a website called “Your Health, Your Way” to promote proper nutrition combined with dining pleasure. We work with our dietitians to develop a wide array of innovative foodservice formulas for sit-down or carryout meals corresponding to the lifestyles, preferences and tastes of people today. 

The new premium foodservices offer, Origo, responds to heightened consumer interest in sustainability, ethical food sourcing and improved health and well-being, emphasizing fresh, highquality, seasonal produce, fair-trade sourcing and recyclable packaging. Origo’s outstanding menu creativity won Sodexo the 2010 Menu Innovation and Development Award (MIDAS).

Concierge services

As the pace of daily life increases and it becomes harder to draw the line between work and home, employees insist on a healthy work-life balance when choosing an employer. Concierge services are specifically intended to help meet this demand.

 

Simplifying life

Concierge services make life simpler by taking care of everyday tasks such as making reservations, finding a plumber, getting a visa or having clothes dry cleaned. Our services take the stress out of daily life, leaving employees free to focus on their work. Sodexo offers formulas suited to all employee needs and the resources of their employers, ranging from in-house concierge service to telephone assistance or a dedicated website to selected online services.

In the United States, Biogen Idec, the global leader in biotechnology, chose our Circles offer to retain talented staff and optimize the performance of its employees. The return on Biogen Idec’s investment was immediate: the company reported significant productivity gains and voluntary departures fell from 14% to 5% in the United States.

Fitness centers

Staying fit is essential to a balanced life and the feeling of serenity and well being that go with it. For many people, exercise has become part of daily life. It is one of the best ways to recharge our batteries, eliminate stress and recover our natural vitality.

 

Customized training

Sodexo designs and manages in-house fitness programs and facilities such as weight rooms and spas. Our offerings include customized fitness training in the workplace or at home. And for serious fitness enthusiasts, we even offer personal training provided by carefully selected professional coaches.

Space design

Companies grow and transform as the years go by. Their business activities evolve, along with their space and equipment requirements. To accommodate their growth and new business strategies, companies often need to relocate or reconfigure their offices. We support them at every stage of development by designing and installing workspaces to match their changing needs.

 

Comfort and efficiency

Our experts devise smart, cost-saving, environmentally friendly solutions that can be introduced seamlessly, without work interruptions, as the company evolves. We tailor workspace design to the specific features of each business, paying special attention to user-friendliness. We have been using this approach for years to support the rollout of Nokia activities around the world.

Recently, for example, Sodexo experts planned and implemented the company’s successful move to its new headquarters in the outlying suburbs of Beijing. After a thorough preliminary study, we developed a complete services project to ensure optimal comfort for Nokia employees.
