From April 2018, the minimum contributions for the workplace pension will increase. This is a nationwide change, involving millions of people and their employers across the UK.

The changes will take place in April 2018, and again in April 2019.

Date effective	Sodexo’s minimum contribution	Your minimum contribution	Total minimum contribution
Currently, until April 2018	1%	1%	2%
April 2018 to March 2019	2%	3%	5%
April 2019 onwards	3%	5%	8%

You and Sodexo may already pay more than the minimum contributions. If your payments are greater than the increased minimum levels, you will not need to pay any more.

Voice: it's results time!

Last month, all Sodexo colleagues were invited to take part in our global engagement survey, Voice. We’re delighted to share the results of the survey, which can be used to start conversations within teams about how to address areas for improvement, and how to maintain the good things we’re already doing.

Are you ready for WasteLESS Week?

Teams across the globe are getting for WasteLESS Week 2020,which starts on Monday 26 October, ready to reduce the waste our operations create. This year in the UK and Ireland, we are focussing on food waste - something that we can all help with, both in the workplace and at home.

Show your heart. Play your part.

The future of our local communities is in our hands as the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic continues to have a severe impact on third sector organisations, including Stop Hunger’s charity partners. For the first time ever, the Foundation is asking for your feedback to shape its future focus - show your heart by taking part in the new Stop Hunger survey.

Keep your mind on safety

With existing safety practices still in place, and new ways of working being frequently introduced, we are asking you to keep your mind open to changes and learn why it’s important for us to keep safety on the brain.

Keeping food allergen incidents at bay

With sites continuing to reopen across the region, we must never forget that food allergens present a danger to over two million people in the UK and Ireland. In the final chapter of our mini series on back-to-site safety, we’re talking about food allergen processes.

Staying vigilant through change

We’re all juggling responsibilities in the new normal, but as new ways of working become the norm, it can be easy to get complacent with safety. This week, we focus on near misses and hazard spotting - a good way for sites to stay on top of their safety game and prevent potentially harmful accidents from ever occurring.
