Inclusive Workplaces: Making a Difference as An Inclusion-Maker
In celebration of International Women’s Day, we are proud to share the stories of some of our employees who encourage and inspire inclusion, building equal opportunities for all genders.
I believe in the collective power of change, that small actions can contribute to a better future for everyone.
In line with our values and mission, we aim to empower all Sodexo employees to be inclusion-makers, acting with purpose to shape a workplace with equal opportunities for all.
Inclusion for me means encouraging all people, all genders, to let their unique light shine.
The Sodexo SoTogether network has implemented several programs aimed at promoting gender equality around the world.

When we listen to a victim as the conversation evolves, we can hear some of the tension coming out of their voice, their feeling of being heard, of being seen by someone.
Amanda supported the creation of the Fairy Godmother program in Brazil. This project supports women who have suffered or are suffering from gender-based violence by creating a safe space to support female colleagues in need.

The volunteer employees known as “fairies” are trained to provide psychological and legal support to their female colleagues. The program has already helped more than 250 women and saved seven from imminent risk.
