Generations

At Sodexo, we value the diverse perspectives that each generation brings to the workplace and marketplace. It is critical that the institutional knowledge and historical views of our most tenured employees, along with the progressive mindset of our emerging talent are both leveraged. 

Through training and initiatives including reciprocal mentoring, we are able to create cohesion across the generations.
