What Are You Doing For Others? A Tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.

By ChloƩ Rada, Senior Marketing Manager - Talent Acquisition

 


Originally established to commemorate his birth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is now widely celebrated as a day of community service, a time to give back.  Federal legislation challenges all of us to transform the holiday into a day of citizen action volunteer service in honor of Dr. King.

As a new member of the Sodexo team, I am learning a great deal about my new employer and how the 391,000 global employees embody this “Service Spirit” in line with Dr. King’s legacy.  Their (and now my!) mission is to work together everyday to improve the Quality of Daily Life for our customers.  I am looking forward to learning more about how Sodexo delivers on their promise of contributing to the economic, social and environmental development of the cities, regions and countries in which we operate. 

During my job search, I was intrigued to learn how Sodexo partners with their clients, vendors and communities to fight hunger and malnutrition and promote sustainability and wellness.  This was important to me as I too volunteer in my local community with the House of Good Shepherd, a shelter for abused women and their children on the North side of Chicago. 

Is the idea of serving your community important to you?  How do you heed Dr. King’s call?

If showing your service spirit is how you imagine your future, I encourage you to search our careers today.
