 Optimizing employee working conditions
It allows employees to have lunch outside the workplace in a restaurant of their
choice, while enabling employers to benefit from exemptions to certain taxes and payroll
charges.
In 2005, Accor Services further enhanced its meal voucher product. A healthy eating
program was introduced that uses a mascot, Gustino, to help customers identify
nutritionally balanced dishes on restaurant menus.
Employees use food vouchers to pay for groceries in neighborhood stores and
supermarkets. Introduced by Accor Services in 1983 in Mexico, under the Vale Despensas®
name, food vouchers have since been extended throughout Latin America and, more recently, in
Central Europe.
These vouchers enable companies to help pay for employee’s childcare expenses. Accor
Services has marketed the voucher in the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Belgium,
Portugal and, since 2003, Spain.

Motivating and retaining employees
Ticket Tesorus provides small and medium businesses with employee savings and retirement solutions that are practical, educational and efficient.
Every employee gets a book of 12 tickets. On each of them stand 3 numbers which correspond to the firm's contribution, the employee's voluntary payment, and the total amount invested into the account.
Then the employee is free to save money whenever he/she wants, just by sending one or several tickets to Tesorus.
Launched in 1985 in the United States, this service helps employees
reconcile their job and
family life with solutions for child and elderly care concerns by finding the most appropriate
service providers (daycare centers, senior residences, etc.).
Through the Vie Pratique® advisory service or via the Internet, employees have access to
housing, family assistance, entertainment, travel and other lifestyle support services, and to legal
counseling and information about government programs.
Académie, a new Accor Services brand launched in January 2004, markets Accor’s capabilities in
service management consulting and training.
