Colleague engagement
This page is the proof that Priority-40 is moving. Five cadences, from last week to this year, showing what colleagues contributed, what got authenticated and what changed in Sodexo's pipeline as a result.
Written by Herald. Reviewed by Marketing. Published every Friday. Every number is pulled from the operating portal and Sodexo's own CRM and pipeline.
Last week
The week just gone is the shortest loop in the initiative. Herald writes it up on Friday and Marketing reviews it before it lands here on Monday.

Live work in the portal this week. Every item here has a named owner and a stage it is currently sitting in.

Every month Herald names the colleagues whose contributions had the most reinforcing effect on the library. Not the loudest voices. The most reused ones.

This quarter
The quarter is the horizon most trigger windows live on. This is the view leadership asks for.
This quarter . Progress
Five of the 40 have moved into an active conversation with a named Sodexo account-owner this quarter. Each move is recorded in Sodexo's CRM. Priority-40 carries the trigger, the evidence and the stage log behind it.

What we do next
Every retrospective cadence on this page connects back to the plan. This section is the plan. Four horizons. Next week. Next month. Next year. Road to 2030. Each horizon has a named owner and a measurable commitment. Herald writes the retrospective. Marketing writes the forward view. The plan is updated on the first Monday of every month.
Next week
The commitments that land in the portal between now and next Friday. Each one has a named owner and a measurable handoff.
Next week . Commitment
Herald ships the WUTH brief to Sodexo's named CFO account owner Monday. Marketing briefs the CE on the same day. Envoy has already surfaced the two individuals worth briefing at the trust. Ledger and Beacon confirmed the window on Friday.

Next year
The annual horizon connects this quarter's output to the 2027 operating plan. These are commitments not forecasts.
Next year . Commitment
The same governed evidence pipeline that identifies first-outsourcing windows at the 40 extends to a wider trust set. By this time next year a Priority-80 watch has a dedicated stage in the builder. Renewal defence sits with Sodexo's account owners on live contracts, not with Priority-40.

Next year . Commitment
The intake queue currently has 47 named colleagues contributing regularly. By this time next year the target is 200. Every contribution stays governed. Every contributor stays named. Every retained artefact stays credited.
