So far, Sodexo Engage has reached more than 30 million employees across the UK alone and has an extensive network of retailers and partners. “Taking a people first approach has long been our central ethos,” explains Burcin Ressamoglu, Sodexo Engage CEO. “But this became even more imperative during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. With many companies forced to adopt working from home, businesses were under pressure to support the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of their staff.” This is where Sodexo Engage really came into its own. With everyday perks, like inoffice celebrations for reaching milestones, no longer possible, organisations had to innovate and adapt quickly to provide staff with more appropriate rewards and incentives. “We work with our clients to ensure they can engage and recognise their employees in the most effective way possible,” Burcin notes. “With a range of rewards, benefits, and recognition programmes, we can help businesses build the right level of support and programmes needed to engage their people and drive performance.” During the pandemic, Sodexo Engage introduced new social programmes and services to support the community and government including free school meals serving millions of school children and Covid testing survey support through the Office of National Statistics.
