  When only the highest standards will do

As one of the largest drilling contractors in the world, Seadrill has always provided first-class service to its employees and maintained rigorous quality standards. Keeping employees healthy, happy and safe is more than just good corporate citizenship – it’s also essential to attract and maintain the best talent.

It was equally important for Seadrill to be able to stay focused on their core business. This meant trusting a reliable partner that could easily adapt to their complex rig itineraries and logistics issues. For example, when a rig is built in the shipyard and needs to make multiple stops on the way to its far-off destination, the partner has to ensure that every stage of the journey runs smoothly – from crew changes to food supplies.

Already geared up and ready to go

With successful activities in 80 countries and a solid infrastructure already in place, Sodexo was perfectly positioned to step in and get to work. Through a single global-service agreement, Sodexo took over all catering, cleaning and janitorial services worldwide, providing Seadrill with a single point of contact for everything. A dedicated Sodexo team was put in place to handle the mobilization and operation of all units, whether within a country’s borders or traveling in between. And Sodexo was able to adapt quickly to Seadrill’s unique requirements and challenges.

Sodexo also made sure the entire catering crew was trained and qualified long before operations began. And as with all Sodexo interventions, Seadrill was able to monitor progress every step of the way with regular reporting and Key Performance Indicators. This includes safety statistics, best-practice sharing, operational performance and real-time tracking of all units, not to mention quarterly progress meetings.

A partnership that pays off

In addition to providing a cost-effective solution that covers all the resources needed, Sodexo has been helping Seadrill maintain seamless operations on an international level. Despite its drastically sudden growth, Seadrill continues offering the same uniform standards at every site. Sodexo has also been able to adapt to their particular interests, such as offering special holiday meals to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Chinese New Year. The workers are more than happy, and the feedback has been positive.
