Congratulations to Sodexo, one of our Global Partners, for inclusion on the “2014 NAFE Top 50 Companies for Executive Women” list! The National Association of Female Executives‘ list “recognizes American corporations that have moved women into top executive positions and created a culture that identifies, promotes and nurtures successful women.”
“Sodexo is proud to be recognized by NAFE as one of the Top 50 companies for women executives,” said Steve DiPrima, president of leisure services at Sodexo. “It further validates our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion throughout our teams while also providing opportunities for professional development and growth.”

- Twenty-eight percent of executive officers at the NAFE Top 50 are women, up from 25 percent last year and 22 percent in 2012.
- Women represent 35 percent of the top 10th of earners at the NAFE Top 50 Companies, and a full two-thirds at the NAFE Top 10 Nonprofit Companies.
- Female participation in advancement programs increased significantly at the NAFE Top 50 this year, with almost a third (32 percent) of women using management/leadership training and mentoring programs, and 64 percent of women participating in career counseling.
