The new partnership strengthens “Sodexo BRS global proposition around Employee Benefits and Rewards & Recognition by offering organisations the ability to understand in real-time how happy and engaged their people are through The Happiness Index’s platform.

We’re delighted to have signed a global agreement with The Happiness Index enabling us to offer their cutting-edge neuroscience platform to our clients. This partnership will empower our clients to complement the employee benefits services they receive from Sodexo BRS, to understand in real-time what their people are thinking and feeling. Organisations can then anticipate and rapidly respond to their people’s needs, creating a culture built upon the key drivers that build happiness and engagement.”

Raphaëlle Rouvroy, Partnerships & Strategic Alliances Director, Sodexo BRS says: “In every strategic partnership that we put in place, a good cultural fit between partners is essential to success. Knowing that both our businesses are purpose-led and focused on creating a better world of work, I’m really confident that our collaboration with The Happiness Index will be fruitful and long lasting”.
