The way we live and work has transformed in a way none of us could have imagined. "At the frontline for over 12 months, our 6,000 strong healthcare teams have worked tirelessly at hospitals across the UK and the Sodexo network of Covid-19 test centres to deliver essential services and to keep our colleagues, patients, residents and clients safe." Last June, to protect the firm's frontline teams from the additional pressure and stress caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Sodexo launched a face-to-face counselling service. It was designed to reduce the impact on the psychological and emotional health of teams. To date, more than 1,300 individual sessions and 154 group sessions focusing on mental health-related topics have been delivered to 420 employees. Over the past year, the company has extended the service to its teams working at 31 Nuffield Health locations and for the teams at 200 Covid-19 testing centre locations.
