Keep your mind on safety

The last couple of weeks have clearly demonstrated how our ways of working can develop dramatically in a short space of time. Recent actions include the launch of the NHS Test and Trace app, new mandatory face covering requirements, and of course the request for our people to work from home where they can.

So we can all rise safely again, please keep your safety mind open to changes over the coming months as we continue to see developments like these affect the way we operate.

We’re also asking you to remember that even with new ways of working, Sodexo’s 3 Checks for Safety remain the same and must be followed before you carry out any work-related task.

Throughout our September mini series, which focussed on back-to-site safety, we shared resources and materials with you to remind everyone of these existing processes, and also to reassure you that the safety of our people, clients and consumers continues to be Sodexo’s number one priority.

Achieving through adversity

Joanne Smith had worked for Sodexo for four years in a casual role, supporting on race days and functions at Ascot Racecourse. Then, in January 2020, she became Operations Manager – and in doing so, began an apprenticeship with Sodexo, studying Level 5 Operational/Departmental Management.
