Approaching expansive inclusion – Our Employees
As always, it is the human element that makes the difference, and we believe that employee and business growth is fuelled by diversity and inclusion in order to generate creativity and accelerate innovation. Leveraging different perspectives and backgrounds bring forth new concepts and ideas, as do giving colleagues the right support, mentoring and training. Because the landscape of doing business is now more fluid than ever, recruiting and retaining the best talent, as well as ensuring their well-being, is our priority and will give us the edge.
Yet, the health and well-being of our employees rest on us building an inclusive workplace and culture of equality, empowerment and respect, which is also pivotal to attracting diversity to our team. A more diverse workforce will be more representative of our customers and communities that we serve. An environment that puts employees first will inspire them to be passionate about their work, and more likely to go the extra mile for our stakeholders.
We value the Octopus employee experience, which is guided by the principles set out in our employment guidelines that reference relevant laws and regulations and a zero tolerance to discrimination of any kind. While we work hard, we also play hard, and reward our colleagues with remuneration packages and welfare benefits based on occupational qualification, job performance, and their internal and external relativities.
The newly renovated office has added shared spaces and play facilities, allowing colleagues to have more space for communication and discussion.
