Sodexo competitors are worldwide which includes Compass group USA on 2nd position, Aramark on 3rd, and Serco on 4th position.

Customer NPS (Net Promoter Score) of Compass group USA is higher by 28% then Sodexo as well eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) is 6% higher than Sodexo. Gender score, Diversity score, Leadership cultural ratings, Compensation cultural ratings, and Environment culture of Compass group USA exceeds then Sodexo. However, Perk and Benefits Score are equal for both organisations. On the other hand, Aramark eNPS, Gender score, Perk and Benefits score, Leadership culture, compensation culture, Environment culture are less compared to Sodexo.
