More than 5,000 bank employees were treated to a fortnight-long carnival on wellness.
Championing the importance of keeping staff abreast of their health, wellness and lifestyle, OCBC Malaysia rolled out its carnival themed “Wellness every day, every way”.
More than 1,000 participants turned up for the event held at the bank headquarters Menara OCBC in Jalan Tun Perak, Kuala Lumpur, while scores joined online.
Beyond the inspiring talks, fun games, expert-led wellness sessions and an all-new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered photo booth, the bank staff were feted to an array of programmes, both in person and digitally, to ignite their passion for wellness.
Among the highlights were the challenge to walk 100,000 steps in 14 days, health checks, yoga sessions and even massages to relieve body tension.
OCBC Malaysia managing director and human resources head Kok Lai Ching said the bank strove to engage staff in uplifting initiatives.
“Our aspiration to be Asia’s leading financial services partner for a sustainable future extends beyond our customers.
“We want to be the bank that enables communities around us to realise their aspirations and that starts with our employees.
“We curated a variety of wellness-related programmes so our staff could benefit holistically, both physically and mentally, to remind them of the importance of self-care.
“Together, we are creating a culture where well-being is at the heart of all that we do,” said Kok.
OCBC Bank was named one of the Kincentric Best Employers for Malaysia in 2023, the only bank to be listed in the ranking.
