Sodexo: Extends Global Contract For Engagement & Happiness Platform
We are delighted to share that one of our major customers, Sodexo, has agreed to continue working with us as their employee engagement & happiness platform provider. Sodexo is a French food services and facilities management company headquartered in Paris and has over 400,000 employees, with a presence in 80 countries.
Since we started working together in September 2019, it is fair to say it has been quite the journey, particularly since we had to navigate the small matter of a global pandemic at the start of 2020 (and still do). Many of our proposed plans were thrown out of the window, but I am delighted at the way we adapted our employee feedback strategy and worked as a genuine partnership to deliver a great solution that works for Sodexo.
I have to say, throughout my career I have been fortunate to work with so many genuine global companies, however not every large organisation treats you as equals, in both a business sense and a human sense. However, with regards to Sodexo, we have always been treated with huge respect from day one. Of all the senior leaders I have met at Sodexo, perhaps around 15 of them, every single one of them has clearly been a decent human being, and if you combine that with intelligence, passion for the organisation and hard work, you are going to achieve a winning combination!
Sodexo is an organisation that genuinely lives and breathes its mission, and I am proud to call them a customer! For the record, here is their mission statement.
About Sodexo
Improving the quality of life isn’t just a dream. For Sodexo, it’s a mission. We believe the quality of life helps to keep people healthy, happy & motivated throughout life. We believe it helps organisations to be more efficient and productive. And as the world leader of over 100 services, we believe that quality of life is created when we integrate our Food services, Facilities management, employee benefits and more… But we go even further. Doing good business in a good way is our driver and at the heart of our mission. And our ambition is to positively impact one billion consumers worldwide. The Happiness Index and Sodexo share a belief in doing things the right way, no wonder we are a match made in heaven.
The Happiness Index Expands Into Europe
Our successful partnership with Sodexo has given us major tailwinds and visibility, particularly across Europe, which is one of the key reasons we now have a dedicated team in France to onboard new clients looking to deploy our solutions in France and beyond.
