Adapting workplaces to our next normal
As we continue to navigate through this crisis across the world, it has become very clear that businesses and organizations will need to put safety and security at the forefront of their operations more than ever, in order to protect employees, the public and all stakeholders, and to rebuild trust as we emerge progressively from confinement We invite you to rise with Sodexo and capitalise on the opportunities of our next normal.
Drivers of Change
In our next normal, these drivers will push businesses to adapt, transform the way workplaces are organised and fuel the adoption of innovation, even as health, safety and well-being become even more pressing concerns.
Changed expectations around food
Rather than traditional staff restaurants, social distancing concerns will drive adoption of "Grab-n-Go", digital orders or even delivery options for remote workers. Sodexo's new food services and models can help.
Physical and mental health at the forefront
Physical and mental well-being will become even more important in the new normal. Our world-class health, safety and environmental standards and services, translated into practical, efficient workplace design, will assure employees when they return to work.
COVID-19 is here for the medium term
Medical therapies for COVID19 will take time to develop and test. In the meantime, scientific consensus suggests that we might see up to 3 more waves of COVID19 over the next 2 years. Sodexo can help you prepare your business and your workplace for this.
The shift to remote working
Even after workplaces reopen, remote working arrangements are likely to continue, because of business continuity plans, or to enable flexibility for employees with caregiving needs. Sodexo can help you to create a more effective, tech-driven workspace to facilitate different working styles and arrangements.
The importance of sustainability
Sustainability in the workplace will continue to play a key role, with the global situation drawing attention to the carbon and environmental footprint of human activity. From energy management to reducing waste, Sodexo can help.
