These pillars clearly define our culture as:

Employees can get involved by leading and participating in a variety of initiatives, including professional development sessions, business development opportunities, and employee-run committees. These programs develop and hone skills which employees can in turn apply to delivery and other aspects of their careers.
- Unified: Our employee-run Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee encourages employees to develop and execute social initiatives that they are passionate about to make a direct impact on our surrounding community. We have an almost 100% participation rate in CSR activities throughout the year and more than 60% of the organization has donated funds and personal time to volunteer with our partner charities.
- Engaged & Social: Our continued investment in our people including their career development and professional development as well as how we recognize and reward outstanding contribution enables us to build a strong team and culture where people are inspired, motivated, recognized and rewarded.
At OPTIMUS | SBR we sincerely believe that success begins with our employees. From the values promoted by our committees through the organization of events, to the level of professionalism we endorse and uphold when working with clients, OPTIMUS | SBR employees work as a team to uphold a Bold Attitude whilst completing every endeavor we take on to the highest possible standard.
This award reflects the feelings that our employees share towards the company. It is through this annual study, conducted by Aon Hewitt that we can assess our engagement and spark improvement in our programs where necessary.
