Service spirit
As our founder and Chairman, Pierre Bellon, has often said, “True dignity lies in being of service to others.” For the men and women of Sodexo, this “Service Spirit” is more than a slogan.it's an attitude towards daily life that is embodied in all that we do each day to take care of those whom we serve. It's about listening and paying attention to details. It is also being available, responsive, welcoming and efficient, and doing what we say we will do.
We believe our managers need to stay close to their customers.
Team spirit
In a team environment, everyone contributes their individual talents, personality and particular skills. The winning team is the one whose members also demonstrate respect and appreciation for each other.
The role of the team manager is to combine all this talent, and channel the energy into a single direction. Winning is the objective, with team members always putting the group's interests before their individual ambitions.
At Sodexo, we believe a sense of team spirit throughout the organization is absolutely essential to our success, and is as important at our work sites as it is in our boardroom.
Spirit of progress
Every day, Sodexo team members strive to give their best. This means going the extra mile, continuously improving performance and daring to take the initiative.
We encourage our managers and employees continually to question the status quo and to never stop thinking about how things can be done better. We recognize that we won't progress if we don't understand our failures as well as our successes. We regard continuous innovation and improvement as critical to our success in anticipating and meeting the needs of clients and customers. We believe our collective progress as a company is made possible by the personal progress of every individual within the organization.
