Commemorating International Women's Day
Providing Opportunities for Independence Through #SheWorks
Launched on International Women’s Day 2019, SheWorks is a global initiative that aims to connect women in our community, especially those in vulnerable situations, with Sodexo employees in a one-day program to learn about Sodexo’s business and job opportunities. This year, in 2021, we worked with local NGO Daughters of Tomorrow, to provide women from our community with job shadowing and career coaching and support their efforts towards financial independence.

Promoting Gender Balance for Better Outcomes
To understand how gender-balanced teams impact our performance, Sodexo surveyed over 50,000 managers across 70 entities with improved outcomes over five years. Our Global Gender Balance Study suggests that optimal outcomes are achieved when management teams have a gender ratio of 40% – 60% women, showing positive impacts on the following key indicators
