Leading workplace transformation
Accelerating change in all business sectors, the pandemic has significantly impacted the ways of working of millions of people.
Business and government leaders have been faced with new challenges and must search for effective and efficient solutions. Employees are now in search of flexibility and hybrid collaborative working modes. Employers need to combine well-being at work and performance to secure employee loyalty and increase engagement.
Establishing trust and confidence for a safe return to the workplace
Our clients trust us to redesign their workspaces to make them flexible, dynamic and modular, and to reinvent employee experience, enhancing employee well-being as well as boosting performance and innovation.
Our Medical Advisory Council offers a technical orientation and validates health and safety protocols across our services, calling upon the expertise of Bureau Veritas to certify the quality level of our procedures and services such as disinfection to contactless services.
Supporting multiple clients to reinvent their consumer experience across multiple workplace types:
- At Binghamton University in Vestal, New York, our range of expertise has improved the environment and student engagement while generating substantial savings.
- On remote sites, smart glasses now make remote maintenance possible, while the app MyWay, used from mining sites in Australia to offshore platforms in the North Sea, is devoted entirely to users’ daily needs.
- At hospitals, we use artificial intelligence in our predictive analysis program Experiencia to assist care teams with time and stress management.
- Circles, Sodexo’s concierge services, has strengthened its digital offerings designed to support employee engagement wherever they are.
