Our people are central to OCBC’s success. We continue to strengthen our development and wellbeing efforts so employees are supported to grow, adapt and thrive. Guided by the OCBC Learning Philosophy, our programmes are purpose led, structured and accessible, enabling employees to take ownership of their growth. We also prioritise holistic wellbeing by supporting employees’ physical, mental and workplace health, building a resilient organisation where our people can realise their aspirations.

OCBC Learning Philosophy
At OCBC, we nurture a culture where employees are empowered to take ownership of their growth and careers. Our approach is anchored by leadership, driven by purpose, and guided by the OCBC Learning Philosophy, which shapes how we design learning experiences and create opportunities for development across the Group. These principles underpin our learning design and programme delivery, ensuring that development is accessible, structured and curated.

In 2025, we enhanced accessibility and broadened participation across offices, ensuring that development opportunities are inclusive and meaningful. This reflects our Employee Value Proposition: “Let’s build the bank we need for the future we want.” By embedding this philosophy into our talent management framework, we advance OCBC’s expertise while fostering a culture of respect, personal growth, and collective success.

Grow Your Way with MOBI
Grow Your Way with MOBI is OCBC Group’s multi-year initiative designed to enhance employee growth and mobility through a skills-first approach. By emphasising skills and abilities over traditional indicators such as job titles or qualifications, it ensures all employees have access to learning opportunities and diverse development pathways that support current and future organisational needs. This strategic focus strengthens OCBC’s ability to build a workforce aligned with evolving business demands. We aim to unlock the full potential of employees and enable OCBC to effectively seize transformative opportunities, fostering long-term growth and readiness for the future.

Coaching for Growth
The Coaching for Growth programme builds a strong coaching culture across OCBC to empower employees and strengthen leadership capabilities, supporting long-term workforce sustainability. Through structured coaching conversations, employees gain space to reflect on their development, explore career mobility and build resilience. Through strategic partnerships with the coaching ecosystem, OCBC aims to expand its coaching capabilities and provide access to global best practices, resources and professional support to our senior leaders who are trained as coaches. Beyond developing coaching skills, the programme promotes a coaching mindset across the organisation through targeted campaigns and inspiring success stories.

Our People’s Holistic Wellbeing – MyWellness Framework
OCBC’s Group-wide MyWellness Framework serves as a comprehensive support system that empowers employees to proactively take charge of their health and wellness. Addressing the challenges of an ever-changing environment, the framework focuses on enhancing employees’ financial, physical, mental and family wellbeing and workplace wellness. Regular virtual wellness talks are organised in collaboration with our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provider, Workplace Options. These sessions attract strong participation, reflecting strong engagement with our wellness initiatives.

MyWellness Fiesta
Our MyWellness Fiesta brings together a diverse mix of physical and virtual activities across OCBC Group. Designed around the five pillars of the MyWellness Framework, the event features a wide variety of talks, workshops, fitness sessions, games and social activities. Employees can also benefit from the in-person experiences alongside enhanced virtual offerings, empowering them to take small consistent steps toward better health and wellbeing. Through these efforts, Group Human Resources continues to make wellness more accessible, engaging and meaningful for employees.

MyWellness Champion
Our MyWellness Champions programme embodies our commitment to building a healthier and more resilient workplace. Colleagues across the Group come together as MyWellness Champions and undergo training and accreditation, which equips them to hold supportive wellness conversations with their colleagues while maintaining confidentiality. They will connect and guide employees toward resources that support their wellbeing. Their presence helps build a workplace where wellbeing is actively supported and embedded in daily interactions – not only through policies.
