Did You Know?

In 2006, Sodexo trained more than 3,500 managers in the spirit of diversity and more than 2,500 managers in seven diversity learning labs: Muslims in the Workplace; Cross Cultural Communications; Culturally Competent Recruiting; Generations in the Workplace; and Culturally Competent Customer Service in Healthcare.

Diversity

Sodexo is recognized as one of America's leading companies for diversity and inclusion.

Our goal is to create a work environment that fosters mutual respect among all people. Our employees deserve a work environment that provides personal and career challenges and opportunities while empowering them to express their individuality. We value everyone's contributions to our team - their diverse backgrounds and experiences create a strong, inclusive culture - and a competitive advantage.

To ensure that our diversity programs are constantly evolving and exceeding our own high expectations, we partner with the National Urban League, National Disabilities Business Council, National Council of La Raza and Minority Business Roundtable.

Diversity Awards and Recognition

Sodexo is consistently ranked among the top employers for our recruitment and retention of employees who are African-American, Hispanic, Asian American, women, disabled, and GLBT. Since 2002, we have won more than 30 awards and recognitions for diversity.

  • Profiles in Diversity Journal's Winner of the 2007 Innovations in Diversity Award
  • Diversity Inc.'s Top 50 Companies for Diversity
  • Working Mother's Top 20 Best Companies for Multicultural Women
  • Latina Style's 50 Best Companies for Latinas
  • Black Collegian's Top Employer for African-American Graduates
  • Asian Enterprise's Top 20 Best Corporations for Asian Pacific Americans
  • Diversity Inc.'s Top 10 Companies for People with Disabilities
  • Black Professionals' Top 25 Companies for African Americans

While Sodexo is proud of these awards and recognitions, the real reward comes from leveraging the strength of our diverse workforce and making Sodexo a better and stronger company. We know our business is a people business, and we stand apart from the competition because of the power of our teams and their diversity.

We set tough standards for ourselves and work every day to reach our goals. Each year, we voluntarily release the Sodexo Annual Diversity Report (PDF), where we describe our progress with our efforts to build a diverse, inclusive workplace.
