Sodexo Recognised for LGBTIQ+ Workplace Inclusion
For a second consecutive year Sodexo has achieved Advocate status in the Workplace Pride Global Benchmark which measures LGBTIQ+ inclusivity among top employers.
The benchmark consists of a detailed review and analysis of eight categories that show progress on LGBTIQ+ inclusion within the workplace: Policy & Communication, Employee Networks, Workplace Awareness, Support & Benefits, Inclusion & Engagement, Expertise & Monitoring, Business & Supplier Engagement, Impact on Society.
Advocate status is awarded to organisations that achieve top rankings in the assessment survey, for which Sodexo was scored at over 90 per cent across all eight categories.
Companies achieving the status are widely accepted as paving the way for LGBTIQ+ inclusion and improving conditions in the workplace.
Mia Mends, Global Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Office and CEO Impact Ventures for Sodexo North America, comments: “Part of improving quality of life is about encouraging our team members to bring their authentic selves to work.
“We are humbled by this recognition which demonstrates our commitment to uplifting our LGBTQ+ employees.”
