Generations
Sodexo recognises the value of generational diversity, embracing the unique perspectives and experiences across all age groups.
Sodexo hires people across multiple generations, each one bringing diverse perspectives to the workplace and marketplace. We believe it is important that the institutional knowledge and historical views of our most tenured employees, along with the progressive mindset of our emerging talent are both leveraged.
We understand that our employees need and wants change over time as they enter different life stages. Therefore, we provide support for people at significant stages on their life, from entering the workplace for the first time, becoming a parent or carer and looking to retirement.
Sodexo's Generations Workstream is dedicated to supporting and enhancing our multi-generational workforce. In 1950, one in twelve people in the world were over 60. By 2050 the figure will be one in five. As of 2025 we will see a five-generation workforce, encouraging seamless collaborations with our employees and clients to have the best working conditions for all ages.
In Australia, Sodexo provides apprenticeship and flexible work options and opportunities, support for carers, for people deciding to enter parenthood, for those on parental leave and returning as well as support for those going through menopause.
