Women from across OCS Australia are connecting, learning and supporting one another through our Lean In Circles.

The online group was established in April by Bid Manager Kate Wittingslow. It brings together 11 colleagues from WA, VIC, NSW and QLD every two months.

Each session combines a leadership topic with an open, confidential conversation. The group has discussed finding career sponsors, responding to workplace disrespect and preventing burnout.

The benefits can extend beyond the sessions themselves. Lean In reports that Circle members receive promotions and pay rises at twice the rate of the general population. Individual outcomes will vary, but the research suggests peer networks and shared learning can play a valuable role in career development.

💬 “I wanted to create a space where women from across OCS could speak openly about the challenges they face, learn from one another and build relationships beyond their immediate teams,” Kate said. “The value comes from the honesty of the conversations and the practical support we can offer each other.”

👏🏽 We’re proud to support colleagues who are investing in their own development and helping others grow alongside them.

During NAIDOC Week, OCS Australia and Midcity colleagues from across the country came together for the second workshop in a series with Noongar artist Buffie Punch.

Together, they revisited what they had learnt in the first session, explored this year's NAIDOC Week theme, 50 Years of Deadly, and took part in discussions and activities that encouraged everyone to keep learning.

Taking the time to listen, ask questions and better understand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures helps build stronger connections across our teams and the communities we work alongside.

A big thank you to Buffie for once again sharing her experiences with our colleagues, and to everyone who took part in the conversation. 🖤💛❤️

Some of the most meaningful conversations from this week happened after the workshop had finished.

As part of National Reconciliation Week, OCS and Midcity teams from across Australia joined a cultural awareness session led by Noongar artist Buffie Punch, who shared personal stories and perspectives on reconciliation, identity and connection to Country.

The session opened up honest conversations across our teams about history, culture, listening and understanding each other better.

Thank you to Buffie for sharing her experiences so openly, and to Stacey Goodall from All Good Grub for the beautiful Indigenous morning tea 🖤💛❤️

Somewhere in this cookbook is a recipe someone still makes exactly the way their grandmother taught them.

Another was learned through phone calls home after moving countries.

One colleague remembers family members gathered around a table during Ramadan. Another remembers afternoon tea served in bone china cups beside a side gate connecting two family homes.

These are the kinds of stories shared across our business every day – often over lunchrooms, tea breaks and shared meals.

🌏 To mark World Day for Cultural Diversity, colleagues from across OCS Australia and New Zealand have contributed recipes connected to family, migration, celebration, culture and home.

Inside are dishes from more than 80 nationalities represented across our business, each carrying its own memories, traditions and stories.

💬 “Food has a way of bringing people together without needing much explanation.” – Gareth Marriott, Managing Director OCS Australia and New Zealand.

And reading through these pages, you can see exactly what he means.

Thank you to every colleague who shared a small part of their story with all of us. 🧡

For the first few months after arriving in Australia in 2007, Sandeep Chhikara stood at a public payphone with a calling card in his hand, waiting to hear his mother’s voice.

He was 24, more than 10,000 kilometres from home, and living away from his family for the first time.

Nearly 20 years later, Australia is home. He’s built a career across multiple sectors, started a family, and now supports our colleagues as part of the OCS Australia HR team.

As we approach World Day for Cultural Diversity on Thursday, we’ll be sharing stories from colleagues whose experiences of moving countries, starting over, and building lives far from home continue to shape the way people support each other across OCS.

💬 “When you move countries, you never forget how important it is to feel welcomed.” – Sandeep Chhikara

Across our workplaces, many colleagues know what it feels like to arrive somewhere unfamiliar and slowly build a sense of belonging over time.

Nearly 20 years after arriving in Australia alone, that sense of welcome is still something Sandeep hasn’t forgotten.

Most people don’t think about facilities management as they walk into a workplace, hospital, airport or university.

But the way those environments are maintained shapes how people experience them.

Clean, safe and well-maintained spaces help people feel comfortable, confident and able to participate fully in the environments around them. That’s the focus of this year’s World FM Day theme: Cultivating Belonging Through Built Environments.

Behind the scenes, facilities management brings together hundreds of moving parts — cleaning, hygiene, maintenance, compliance and building services — helping create spaces that work for the people using them every day.

💬 “The environments people move through every day affect how they feel in those spaces. When facilities management is done properly, people feel safe, supported and able to focus on what they came to do.” – Elmar Prinsloo

Much of that work happens quietly in the background.

But the experience it creates is felt every day.

Today we’re marking Australia’s own sign language during Auslan Day.

As one of 300 sign languages around the world, it’s unique to us ‘Down Under’ and is used by about 16,000 people.

Today is about recognising the Deaf community and the belonging, connection and opportunity that Auslan allows them.

With over 60 cultures within our OCS Australia and New Zealand operations, our colleagues overcome language barriers every day.
Learning a few words or taking time to translate together doesn’t have to be hard – especially with the help of technology.

It’s here, at this moment of intention, that two of our TRUE values, Respect and Unity, come to life and relationships are built.

Did you know:

👉 Auslan is its own language completely different to spoken English. Signs express concepts rather than singular words.
👉 There are more than 300 different sign languages around the world.
👉 Sign doesn’t only happen with hands. Facial expressions, eye contact and body language are essential in conveying meaning.
👉 Eye contact means connection, while looking away signals the conversation is over.
👉 Technology is bridging barriers. Reach for your notes or messaging apps to converse.

🧡 Protecting people is at the heart of our culture.

We take a broad approach to health and safety: not only protecting colleagues in their role but protecting them as a person too.

Today marks World Day for Safety and Health at Work, with a theme of healthy psychological work environments.

But pressures like stress, burnout, overwhelm and harassment don’t exist in isolation. We carry them with us – at work and at home.

That’s why we’re creating an environment where every colleague feel safe, respected and empowered

We train.

We listen.

We support.

Making people the best they can be starts with keeping them safe and well – physically and mentally.

And that’s a responsibility we all share together.

A huge shout-out to Juliana Chica, Portfolio Manager in our OCS Victoria team, who took part in the Run for the Kids fun run in support of Melbourne's Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal on Sunday.

Juliana completed the challenging 14.4km long course, joining more than 30,000 participants in the event’s 20th year. Together, they helped raise an incredible $1.32 million to fund vital research and equipment for children who need it most.

Juliana said she was proud to support such an important cause - "I really admire and support the important work they do for children and families in the community". She described the day as fantastic with a positive atmosphere, full of energy — "although it was challenging, I enjoyed it immensely".

Well done, Juliana. An inspiring effort for an amazing cause.
