Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to developing local talent, fostering an inclusive workplace, and creating meaningful career pathways. Through leadership programmes, community hiring, and continuous learning, we empower our workforce to grow with confidence and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.
Connection drives culture, and culture powers performance. At OQ8, we keep employees engaged through open dialogue, regular feedback, and employee-led initiatives.
In 2024, we launched the OQ8 EXPO to celebrate collaboration and innovation, featuring OQ8 Talks where employees shared personal stories.
Ongoing engagement is supported by our Employee Committee and PT&C Service Desk.
Culture is shaped by action and measured through feedback. Our 2024 Culture and Engagement Survey had an exceptional 99% participation rate across all locations.
Results exceeded regional and global benchmarks, with high scores in satisfaction, loyalty, and trust in leadership, affirming the strength of our values-driven culture.
The survey validated our four core values and reinforced the importance of listening and acting on feedback. Insights are now shaping engagement and leadership efforts for 2025 and beyond.
We develop talent through a practical 70:20:10 learning model: 70% on-the-job experience, 20% coaching and peer learning, and 10% formal training. This approach ensures our people build real-world skills, supported by digital tools, mentoring, and scenario-based learning, especially in technical and safety-critical roles. It’s learning with purpose, tied to impact.
