Sodexo Healthcare Colleagues Recognised For Their Dedication

The Sodexo Healthcare colleagues who have received the British Citizen Award (BCA) Quarterly CEO Medal of Honour Eleven Sodexo Healthcare colleagues have gained a national award for their dedication, hard work and for going above and beyond to help others.

They have been recognised for a number of reasons such as caring for patients, taking on extra work during the pandemic and – in one case – potentially saving a colleague’s life.

The winners recently received a British Citizen Award (BCA) Quarterly CEO Medal of Honour and were taken to London to celebrate their achievements.

Now a special video celebrating the award winners has been made where they talk about why they feel their healthcare job is so important, which can be viewed below.

The BCA CEO Award is designed to recognise those whose efforts would normally go unseen or unrecognised.

All 11 will be able to use the BCAs' letters after their names as a legacy from Sodexo and the BCA of their endeavours and will be permanently on the BCA Roll of Honour.



Philip Leigh, the CEO of Sodexo Healthcare, said: “It is great that our people have been recognised for the amazing work they do across healthcare whether it is portering, catering, domestics or a whole range of other roles.

“They are important key workers and what they do really counts as it helps hospitals and other organisations run smoothly.

“It is great to hear about our colleagues on the frontline who step up to help others – they make a real difference to people’s lives and that is important.

“I would like to congratulate and thank them for their dedication. They are a credit to Sodexo Healthcare.”

Mike Faulkner, co-founder of The British Citizen Award, said: “It is incredible to see the positive impact that people can make in the workplace.

“Through commitment, kindness and often selfless giving these amazing people can now be held up as role models and rightfully take their place on the BCA Roll of Honour."

The BCA recipients from Sodexo Healthcare attended the Palace of Westminster for afternoon tea to celebrate in March.
