Neil Murray, Sodexo UK & Ireland regional chairman, said: “We are delighted to be included in The Times Top 50 Employers for Women for the third year running, which reflects our genuine commitment to gender equality.
“As well as being the right thing to do, our global research shows where our teams are more gender balanced they are more engaged, productive and profitable, so there’s a clear business case.
“Our gender balance strategy supports our mission to improve the quality of life of our clients, customers and employees.”
Since Sodexo’s inclusion in the 2014 list, the company has announced a public pledge to undertake regular pay audits of its 34,000 employees in the UK and Ireland.
Sodexo also plans to publish its gender pay gap later this year, ahead of the April 2017 date required by Government legislation.
The list, which has been published today as a supplement in The Times, is compiled in partnership with the newspaper and Opportunity Now, the gender campaign within Business in the Community.
