Employees are at the heart of our business, and Sodexo is providing them with the right support to reduce stress and burnout. As society and work continue to change at a rapid pace, physical health, and wellness become more critical to remain resilient and able to meet the challenges of each day.
Being healthy and mentally well are important to long-term success and productivity. Ross Torio, Head of Finance and a fitness enthusiast shares his story:
“When I was a kid, I was very skinny because of chronic asthma. And because of that, I often received derogatory remarks about my body and how I looked — “tingting, payatot, nognog”, (skinny, dark) among others.
Growing up, such words seriously affected my self-confidence. So, when I became financially independent, I invested in myself and embarked on my fitness journey.
I joined Sodexo in June 2020 at the height of the pandemic. I have already been working out since I joined the company. Thanks to Sodexo’s health and wellness program, I became more motivated to look after my health and well-being.
Aside from the fitness motivation, Sodexo also looks after my mental health thru “Sodexo Supports Me”. It’s a 24/7 helpline that supports not only myself but also my immediate family members during challenging times. Working with Sodexo has indeed inspired me to be the best version of myself”.
