When John Lennon asked Paul McCartney to join his skiffle band, who knew that they would change the future of music?

When Serena joined Venus Williams for a game of tennis, no-one could have predicted that they would dominate the sport for years to come.

While these exchanges took place between monumental historical figures, their stories of success all started with a conversation.

Williams Sisters

Sodexo’s new performance development framework for Ingenium users, Aspire, looks to harness the power of conversation. Aspire will enable you and your manager to move beyond an end-of-year appraisal into regular conversation cycles. You’ll take responsibility for your own development, giving and receiving meaningful feedback from your peers. Look out for your welcome message from Ingenium and review your first steps.

For colleagues not on Ingenium, Performance and Development Reviews (PDRs) will continue to help you do the best job you can, and identify opportunities to learn and develop at work. Ensuring that every Sodexo employee has a meaningful PDR is one of our key Focus on Five people priorities.

Thank you for saluting our Forces

Last week was Armed Forces Week; a celebration of the Armed Forces across the region who keep us safe, and an opportunity for Sodexo to celebrate our own teams who support the military community every day.

Salute our Forces

Each year, Armed Forces Week (22 to 28 June) provides Sodexo with the opportunity to commemorate the Armed Forces across the region, and gives us a chance to celebrate our own Hidden Heroes who are helping the military in a number of different ways.

Recognising your Hidden Heroes

As we continue to stop the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and work together to rise again, we must all make sure to continue thanking those making a difference every day.

Our health and safety champions

Our region’s 2020 Have a Safe Day Award finalists were announced last week, with two individuals and one team nominated by you being shortlisted for the global finals - discover who they are and what they did to be nominated.

We will not be silent

After recent events in the United States of America and across the world, read a message prepared for all colleagues from the executive co-sponsors of our Culture & Origins employee network that recognises the feelings of frustration, anger and pain stretching beyond the USA into the UK and Ireland.

Volunteers' Week 2020

This Volunteers' Week (1 to 7 June 2020) we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate all the Sodexo Hidden Heroes across the region who have been supporting their communities through volunteering, both prior to and during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

We will rise again

With the launch of rise with Sodexo, Sodexo Ambassador Matt Dawson takes the opportunity in his last Hidden Heroes video message to thank just some of your colleagues who are already helping our clients to safely reopen their doors.

You are helping us to rise

Last week we saw the launch of rise with Sodexo, our new programme aimed at helping our clients prepare to reopen or be reconfigured to meet the requirements of their new normal. We know that this means the hard work continues for many of you, and for some this work is already underway, so this week we are celebrating our Hidden Heroes who are helping our clients rise with confidence.

Spreading kindness with Matt

This week, you have all been spreading the joy of kindess in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week (18 to 24 May 2020) and IDAHOBIT (17 May 2020), supporting each other, friends, family and the communities where we operate. This week Matt thanks just a few of our Hidden Heroes truly paying it forward.
