September at OCS Philippines.
September was a full month for OCS Philippines, marked by activities that brought employees together to strengthen safety, celebrate milestones, and highlight well-being. The month concluded with the September Townhall and Bash held last Friday, September 26.
The program began with a safety talk on leadership in safety, underscoring the importance of individual responsibility in maintaining safe workplaces. Phil Carter delivered the welcome remarks, acknowledging the contributions of employees across different sites and introducing the month’s key activities. He also shared about R U OK? Day, an event focused on encouraging conversations around mental health and well-being. This session, held shortly after the bash, featured a guest speaker who provided insights on mental health awareness.
The townhall also welcomed new hires, giving them the opportunity to be formally introduced to the wider team. As part of OCS’s 125th anniversary celebration, the event highlighted the organization’s participation in the 125 Challenge, where employees contributed to achieving miles for charity through different physical activities. Three local teams were recognized for recording the highest mileage, demonstrating commitment to the initiative and its wider social impact.
An OCS True Star awardee was also recognized for demonstrating integrity and reliability by taking immediate action during challenging workplace conditions. The afternoon concluded with a celebration of September birthday celebrants and a shared meal with colleagues.
