Sodexo’s corporate services business has received a gold award from RoSPA every year for the last 10 years, entitling the organisation to the RoSPA President’s Award.
RoSPA’s health and safety awards are internationally recognised and awarded to organisations demonstrating outstanding health and safety standards.
For 10 consecutive years Sodexo’s corporate services business has successfully achieved the gold award in recognition of its commitment and initiatives to communicate and drive a world class health and safety system with the priority of keeping its employees and customers safe whilst at work.
Julie Ennis, CEO Corporate Services, Sodexo UK & Ireland said: “We are delighted to have achieved the President’s Safety Award for ten years of gold standard health and safety practice.
“At Sodexo the health, safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, customers and all those we serve is our top priority.
“This fantastic achievement is testament to the continued hard work of our teams who every day are working on our client sites to not only deliver excellence in the services we provide but to do so with health and safety considerations at the top of their minds, always.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for health and safety worldwide.
“RoSPA is very proud of the achievements of its entrants, and with this award we recognise the best of the best, those organisations that have gone the extra mile, raising the bar for the delivery of safety in the workplace.
“Employees, wherever they may be should be able to go to work safe in the knowledge that they will return home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day.”
As workplaces open up and restrictions lift the role of the FM has become more important than ever.
The challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic are now providing a valuable opportunity for FMs to demonstrate their skills and adaptability. Whilst on a practical level FMs are responsible for making buildings safe and comfortable, they are also crucial in attracting people back to the office.
In speaking with industry leaders, it is clear that there are six key areas of focus. Zip has published a white paper which looks at each one, suggesting ways that facilities managers can tackle the complexities and pace of a return to the workplace, whilst demonstrating clear and effective leadership along the way.
