Sodexo’s Vital Spaces has brought together the company’s diverse expertise to provide employers with a new approach to help them transform their workplaces through a connected, people-centric approach.

The workplace of today is not just about the physical boundaries of an office, but also the employee experience wherever and whenever teams are working.

Recent research from Ibec1, in which businesses were questioned about HR trends arising from the Covid-19 pandemic [and Brexit], show that hybrid working tops the list of people priorities for 51% of Irish organisations.  

With hybrid working becoming a reality for many organisations from 2021, Vital Spaces will enable a blended way of working, bringing together everything Sodexo can do to support adults at work whether in the office, at home or at a third workspace.
