It’s our job to stay focussed on keeping our clients happy and providing great service, but what do you do if you’ve been asked to complete a task that’s not part of Sodexo’s contract? We call this ‘out of scope’ work, and with it comes a higher risk of accidents. Get the support you need and stay safe.
