Moving to the New Normal

Drivers of Change

In the new normal, these drivers will push businesses to adapt, transform the way workplaces are organised and drive the adoption of innovation, even as health, safety and well-being become even more pressing concerns.

Changed expectations around food

Rather than traditional staff restaurants, social distancing concerns will drive adoption of "Grab-n-Go", digital orders or even delivery options for remote workers. Sodexo's new food services and models can help.

Physical and mental health at the forefront

Physical and mental well-being will become even more important in the new normal. Our world-class health, safety and environmental standards and services, translated into practical, efficient workplace design, will assure employees when they return to work.

COVID-19 is here for the medium term

Medical therapies for COVID19 will take time to develop and test. In the meantime, scientific consensus suggests that we might see up to 3 more waves of COVID19 over the next 2 years. Sodexo can help you prepare your business and your workplace for this.

The shift to remote working

Even after workplaces reopen, remote working arrangements are likely to continue, because of business continuity plans, or to enable flexibility for employees with caregiving needs. Sodexo can help you to create a more effective, tech-driven workspace to facilitate different working styles and arrangements.
