At Sodexo, it all starts with the every day. The company firmly believes that little actions enhance an employee’s every day experience at the workplace and beyond, delivering greater impact and an improved quality of life. Building on this concept, Sodexo India curated its new workplace, Sodexo India House in Mumbai. The inauguration ceremony was graced by Johnpaul Dimech, Region Chair, Asia Pacific, along with Rohit Bahety, Country President, Sodexo India.
Spread across 30,000 sq. ft., the modern workplace accommodates 350+ employees from Sodexo Onsite Services and SBS, a shared service centre delivering standardized systems and processes from a single location to support Sodexo’s operations across 13 countries with services ranging from Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, Supply Management, Information Technology and Health, Safety and Environmental topics.
Speaking on the milestone event, Rohit Bahety, Country President Sodexo India, said, “The new ways of working demand flexibility and work life benefits that support employee productivity and well-being. The core is to create personalized experiences. We want to ensure that, from the time employees’ step into the workplace every day, this new space supports their interactions with colleagues, allows them to destress in relaxed settings and experience our unique hospitality through curated food offers that would be an immersive experience.”
We accomplish this through our systematic approach of workplace transformation, Vital Spaces which encompasses traditional services for food and facilities management in addition to addressing the evolving workforce challenges that come with new hybrid, flexible work models – from workplace strategy, design, management and worklife services to technology and analytics, we look at each aspect of employee experience in a comprehensive manner.
