Sodexo

Sodexo is laying off 173 employees at Bentley University as Chartwells, a Compass Group brand, takes over the school's dining services contract. The cuts affect dining staff employed by Sodexo on the Waltham, Massachusetts campus as the new contractor transitions operations. The change in vendor prompted the termination of roles tied to the Sodexo dining contract; the article frames the move as a contract turnover rather than a company-wide restructuring. No specific date of the layoffs is provided in the article, nor are details about severance or rehiring by the incoming contractor included. The situation is presented as a localized workforce reduction related to the campus dining contract change.

Sodexo, the French food services and facilities management group, announced plans to cut more than 1,000 jobs in France, prompting employee protests organized by the CGT outside the company headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux near Paris. The article frames the workforce reduction as a planned action by the company and highlights worker opposition but does not specify departments, exact timing, or an exact headcount beyond 'more than 1,000'. No specific planned date for the cuts is provided. The protests indicate significant employee unrest in response to the announced job-cut plans.

UC Health will not renew its contract with Sodexo after one year, affecting close to 500 cleaning and food-service workers at University of Cincinnati Medical Center and West Chester Hospital in Greater Cincinnati. Sodexo, which handled nutrition and cleaning operations at the two hospitals for the past year, will be replaced as the health system returns to its previous vendor. The change is expected to impact nearly 500 employees, though the article does not specify exact timing or provide a specific date for when the transition or job losses will occur. The story was reported by the Cincinnati Business Courier and notes the contract change as the cause of the workforce impact rather than a corporate restructuring announced by Sodexo itself.
