12. “When I compare the training I received
from my previous employer and my new
one, I can tell you with confidence that the
one I had the last two weeks is far superior
to the four days I received two years ago.
It shows the commitment of what Sodexo
does to retain its managers. It gives the
managers the tools to succeed and help the
company grow by following the standards.”
Moussa Baro, Operations Manager,
St. Vincent Medical Infirmary
On-Site Leadership
We understand that having the right leaders and
management assigned to your facility is critical to
the success of Sodexo programs and making sure
our teams are focused and aligned in meeting your
goals and objectives. We will work with you to
jointly develop the right organization to lead your
department. We will provide you with the best
qualified, interested candidates to complement your
current team and go through a joint interview process.
We have also customized an organizational structure
we believe will support, help coordinate and carry out
all of the day-to-day management functions and activities
seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Together, with the
expertise of your managers, we will make sure the right
leaders are in place to deliver successful outcomes.
Employee Satisfaction
The link between employee satisfaction and patient
satisfaction has long been clear, as well as the value
of employee engagement. We know that engaged
employees are an organization’s most productive
and efficient workers. This type of staff is emotionally
connected to the mission, vision and purpose of
the organization they serve. Our staff training and
engagement programs have proven to deliver the
following:
• Reduced turnover
• Increased staff satisfaction
• Increased productivity
• Increased patient and visitor satisfaction
In everything we do, staff training is critical to making
sure we have consistency around the delivery of our
services. We utilize several different approaches to
training; this maximizes the opportunity and productivity
in accomplishing development and compliance.
Patient Experience
We understand your patients and their family
members evaluate their care based not only on the
clinical care but also the non-medical services they
receive during their stay. Understanding how the
Patient Experience can impact your organization will
contribute to where patients receive and physicians
may provide care.
All of this will result in an increased market share for
Sierra Tucson Treatment Center.
Reward and Recognition Programs
The employees who directly interact with your patients
consistently perform their daily tasks and care about their
responsibilities, and this does not go unnoticed. From
the hourly worker to the support manager, Sodexo has
a wide range of recognition programs – one will surely
fit Sierra Tucson Treatment Center’s culture. Recognition
programs vary, from being rewarded for consistent
comments from patients and administrators, to corporate
recognition for support of our mission and values.

implementing programs, training the staff, conducting
focus groups and measuring the outcomes.
We will also put in place the financial tools to manage
all department costs and revenues in order to better
enable you to make informed business decisions.
Prior to the start or our relationship, we will request
a transition meeting between our team and yours to
make certain that your expectations are consistent
with the anticipated outcomes. The purpose is to
transform individual expectations into one set of
prioritized system expectations and to provide a solid
foundation upon which to build a long-lasting and
mutually beneficial relationship.

partnership that will help Sierra Tucson Treatment
Center control costs, boost operational efficiencies,

efficient and effective with our processes, database,
tools and promotions. Food Management streamlines
food production and manages cost by taking a

foods and ingredients required for efficient food
preparation and links them to electronic supply
ordering. Recipes built into the system automates
nutrient and cost analysis, allows menu changes,
adjusts recipes to volume targets, meets regulatory
requirements and is accessible electronically. Menu
tools provide a professional image for weekly and
daily menus and saves staff time by automating the
process of customizing menus and signage.
Food Management will ensure support in the
following ways.
• Deliver consistent quality in food and services.
• Create greater efficiencies in execution of
patient operations.
• Provide centrally administered menu planning and
cost management capability in one online
application.
• Streamline menu processes, control
food cost and strengthen procurement
practices with vendor partners.

with freshness and high quality in mind. We source
products through suppliers using strict industry
standards for superior quality assurance and food
safety. The Fresh Inspirations menu uses recipes that
have rated high in national tests, as well as recipes
that highlight regional and local preferences.
Our standard platforms feature 8,000 recipes
created by Sodexo’s chefs. Available stations
include the following.
From Our Grill – A flash of flame and a sizzle.
Freshly prepared sandwiches are crafted hot off the
grill. From juicy, lean Angus beef burgers on freshly
baked ciabatta buns to marinated chicken breast
on rustic bread, the grill offers one-of-a-kind taste.
Regional favorites and Wellness & You! certified menu
items are also featured.
From the Deli – Freshness is the order of the day.
Popular and unique menu items include lean carved
meats, fresh produce and handmade salads and
spreads. There is an almost infinite number of
combinations that are delightfully stacked atop
fresh bread and assembled to order especially for
each guest.
Hand Tossed Salads – Not your ordinary garden
salad! Our Hand Tossed Salads feature the freshest
produce and our signature combinations of flavors
that are big on taste and value. Each salad is expertly
prepared to order, and many feature lean meats or
seafood while vegetarian options abound. Light,

it your way. Allow our field of fresh fruits and
veggies to inspire you to develop your own unique
salad creation. Or, you can have one of our freshly
prepared pasta, protein or vegetable salads. From
fancy field greens to macaroni salad tossed with fresh
herbs, it’s all there…you make the call!
Freshly Baked Pizza – Fresh-cut toppings, real
cheese, tangy sauce and the crunch of freshly baked
crust; it’s no wonder that pizza is a favorite choice
among many! Just-right-sized personal pizzas satisfy a
large appetite with great combinations, great flavors
and a great price.
Familiar Favorites – Almost like home cooking,
familiar and comforting. Perennial favorites and side
dishes serve up a meal meant to relax and restore. It’s
true comfort food infused with a healthy dash of our
Wellness & You! philosophy.
World Cuisine – With flash and panache, recipes are
prepared to order by a trained chef directly in front
of the customer. World flavors, on-trend innovations
and surprisingly sophisticated flavors combine for a
distinguished offering with unmatched freshness and
taste. Great for building aroma and excitement in the
café.
Our Soups – Nothing soothes the soul like hot soup.
All-time favorites like chicken noodle and ethnic recipes
such as chipotle chicken soup are just two of our wide
variety of choices. And many of our healthy soups
feature a lower caloric content for guilt-free indulgence.
All our soups are prepared in-house daily and are

significantly reduce the potential for slip and fall
hazards and no longer need to shut down corridors
to get the job done!

63. first impressions that many people have about your
hospital. Sodexo makes certain that restrooms are
thoroughly cleaned, including fixtures, shower curtains

doors, furniture, ledges, phones and other surfaces
are free of lint, dust and stains.
Spotless Clinical Care Areas. Sodexo’s attention
to detail has a positive impact on patients no matter

environment can affect a patient’s healing process
positively, so we keep each patient care area spotless.
Shining Floors. When people see clean floors, they
know they are in a well-tended environment and that
you take care of your facility. Therefore, we pay close
attention to floors, from preventive to corrective care.
Simplified Bed Management. Careful, simplified
and organized bed management is key to improving
everyone’s experience with admission and discharge.
We offer expert implementation of this complicated task.
We’ll work with you to create a patient management

admissions and organizes patient placement.
To incorporate effective bed management, Sodexo
uses an intelligent Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
system designed to increase the efficiency of bed
turnaround time, requests for discharging and
transferring patients and room cleaning arrangements.
The Bed Management System interfaces with most
hospital Admission, Discharge and Transfer (ADT)
mainframe systems to link a variety of departments.
This way all necessary personnel always know which
rooms are empty and available.

effective linen management program ensures that
your patients won’t ever have to wait for fresh linen.
Our program includes tracking of, and staff training

patient care.

particular linen needs and customize a program to
meet those needs.
